  • Jun 2019 - Mar 2021

  I have been working within the Wire Harness industry for the past 26 years, starting as an entry level engineer rising to the VP of Engineering and subsequently an Operations Manager at Kauffman Engineering. I have had the opportunity to work with multiple companies and their concepts on how the design, systems, and manufacturing processes should flow for the greatest success. I was also fortunate to deal in depth within multiple customer market sectors directly on products varying from small 1 and 2 circuit harness on up to 550 circuit harness goliaths. The wire harness industry continues to be very important to me in my role at Oasis Sales as President. I am excited to lead potential companies forward with a new set of proven tools that will take them into the next decade and beyond. My goal is to help shift perspective, streamline processes and get companies to manufacture or design a reliable product that performs with the help of industry experts and the right tools.I will use my years of engineering, manufacturing, and customer service experience to direct companies discussions on innovation & how best to improve design processes. Our proven tools will setup designs and processes which reduce risk, speed up time to market, and drive profitability. Isn’t that your ultimate goal? Let me put my experience, drive and expertise to work for you!Let's connect! Show less
