  • Aug 2018 - Present

  Rejoined the great team at French Gerleman (FG) where my career in industrial automation sales started more than 36 years ago. Today I am teamed up a great technical resource, Mike Sutton, former Manager of Power Products at FG. Together we support many of FGs' most important customers with manufacturing solutions from the full suite of Rockwell Automation products and services and a wide array of supporting products and services. With experience and resources in industrial control, manufacturing automation, industrial and commercial networks and good business skills we are uniquely positioned to bring value to our customers supporting any project from simple automation to complex connected enterprise and digital transformation initiatives. As of August 2020 I am taking a temporary leave of absence to attend to family matters. I’m hoping to return and continue my quest to enlighten our customers on the benefits of early adoption of digital initiatives and the importance of planning for continious incremental change in the way they "do manufacturing”. Leveraging information technologies in manufacturing has never been more important than it is today. Show less
