Professional Summary

I’ve spent my entire career in the power transmission and industrial reliability space, beginning in customer service for a global power transmission manufacturer and moving into technical territory sales, supporting major industrial operations across North America. Over more than a decade in the field, I saw a consistent gap between what plants needed and what traditional maintenance tools delivered. Industrial Matrix was built to close that gap. Today, I lead the company with a clear mandate: elevate reliability from a maintenance activity to a strategic operational discipline.

Certifications & Technical Credentials

CAT I Vibration Analyst

Why I Chose This Field

I’ve always been fascinated by how things are made, from processes to machinery to complex industrial systems. Reliability allows me to combine that curiosity with meaningful operational impact. Strong reliability programs change the way organizations operate: safer plants, more predictable production, and a workforce empowered with real time intelligence.

My Role in Industrial Matrix

As Founder and CEO, I guide the company’s long term strategy, oversee product development, support customer partnerships, and ensure that Industrial Matrix continues to redefine what proactive, data driven reliability looks like. My focus is building a company that delivers not just technology, but a reliability culture, one rooted in insight, partnership, and measurable operational value.

Fun Fact

Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler with a passion for whisky culture, especially bourbon and scotch. I’ve visited distilleries around the world, exploring the craft, engineering, and precision that go into creating exceptional spirits. The process, from grain to barrel to bottle, reflects the same curiosity that drives my fascination with how things are made across the industrial landscape.

Professional Summary

I bring 13 years of experience across finance, audit, data analytics, and business transformation. My career began at PwC, where I worked as an audit manager across manufacturing, SaaS, FMCG, and oil and gas, supporting organizations through complex financial oversight and operational change. Over the last five years, my focus has shifted toward financial planning and analysis, digital transformation, and data driven decision making. That combination of technical depth and strategic exposure shapes how I lead finance at Industrial Matrix today.

Background

My professional foundation was built in environments where accuracy, structure, and strategic foresight are essential. At PwC, I managed audits for global clients, led financial controls, and partnered with executive teams navigating growth or transformation. In more recent years, I expanded into FP&A, data analytics, and end to end process improvement, working on projects that link financial outcomes directly to operational efficiency and digital modernization.

Professional Summary

I’ve spent the last four and a half years working at the intersection of reliability, vibration analysis, and customer support. Coming out of the automotive industry, I built my foundation as a maintenance supervisor where downtime wasn’t an inconvenience, it was a production threat. That experience shaped my approach to customer success today. I focus on delivering clear, actionable insights from vibration data so organizations can resolve mechanical issues at their source, not just treat the symptoms.

Background

I started my career in automotive manufacturing, working as a maintenance supervisor while completing school and later transitioning into a full time role. I led maintenance efficiency initiatives, supported real time breakdown scenarios, and developed solutions that kept equipment stable under demanding conditions. Those years built my strengths in attention to detail, root cause analysis, and long term reliability planning, skills I now apply directly when guiding clients through vibration issues and system challenges.

Certifications & Technical Credentials

CAT II Vibration Analyst

Why I Chose This Field

Reliability work gives me the opportunity to take complex vibration data and turn it into something that actually improves how a facility operates. It’s not about chasing noise or trends, it’s about understanding the mechanical truth behind the signal and using that knowledge to prevent failures before they disrupt production. That’s the part of the job I enjoy most.

My Role in Industrial Matrix

As Head of Customer Success, my focus is supporting clients through every stage of their reliability journey. I help identify and root cause rising vibration levels, strengthen monitoring practices, and ensure each customer can operate confidently with the insights provided by our systems. At the same time, I work internally to optimize processes and continuously improve how we deliver support across the entire customer base.

Fun Fact

When I’m not analyzing spectrums, you’ll find me outside, on a hiking trail, around a campfire, or out on the lake. It’s the perfect contrast to the analytical work that fills my week.
