He's a battle-tested CEO and a respected board member. After stepping in from the Board of Directors to become the Chief Executive Officer, he led an outside-in growth strategy and the transformation of CECO Environmental into an integrated and aligned force in the market. His efforts steered the company around debt covenant risks and delivered 29% organic orders growth over two years. He successfully transitioned his CEO role in late 2020.

He has a strong track record delivering benefits for customers that generate growth and value for shareholders. While CEO of Siemens Energy and Automation, he led the Siemens operating company to record successive years in financial performance that included $500m in organic growth while doubling profit and tripling free cash flow in a two-year period. His early career began with 10 years at GE which tripled in market value during that time, followed by leadership roles at Thomas & Betts who closed 18 acquisitions during his 6 plus years. He is currently a member of the Board of Directors at Trojan Battery.

He holds an MBA from Seattle University and a Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Nuclear Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He is an avid soccer player and fan and enjoys traveling with his family.
