I am an entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience in the wholesale distribution industry. During this time, I have successfully worked with my team at the National Material Supply Co., LLC (NMS) in securing thousands of Supply Contract Awards with both Federal and Commercial customers. Our company has also been extremely successful in supporting the US Military through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
Prior to joining NMS, I worked for Anheuser-Busch as a Corporate Engineer in 1996. In this role, I served as a Lead Mechanical Engineer with a STL Warehouse Modification Project for the Beer Packaging and Shipping Division in St. Louis, MO. In 1998, I began my career with Boeing, initially serving as an Engineering Scientist with Phantom Works, and later serving as an Enterprise Auditor, and a Business Development Manager with Boeing’s Industrial Participation Programs Office. In this position, I successfully managed Foreign Military Sales Offset Programs in both Italy and Kuwait.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), 1996; and a Masters of Business Administration from the Washington University Olin School of Business, 2001.
