I am a Partner of The ProAction Group, an operational consulting firm which I co-founded in 1995. I have 30+ years of experience helping middle market companies identify, quantify and mine latent value. I have been widely recognized for my expertise in supply chain functions as the author a book (Implementing Supplier Partnerships), presenting at national and local conferences, and creating numerous articles on value creation, sourcing and logistics. In addition, I created the firm’s proprietary 9-Box Inventory and Pricing tool which has helped countless companies optimize their inventory levels and improve their pricing practices.

My primary focus is on serving Private Equity clients and their portfolio companies. I have particular experience in manufacturing and distribution businesses and a unique ability to assess operational issues and symptoms to translate them into actionable solutions that management and ownership alike can understand and measure.

Prior to forming The ProAction Group, I worked in operational consulting at Arthur Andersen and a boutique supply chain consulting firm.

I serve on the boards of ACME Metal Coatings, Automated Business Machines and DeWayne’s Quality Metal Coatings.

I have a BS in Accounting from Marquette University and am a Certified Public Accountant.
