Jason has worked in the manufacturing industry for over 20 years in multiple roles starting on the production floor and working his way into leadership. He was introduced to Lean Leadership early in his career while a machine operator at a small Ohio factory, where the concept was implemented on a daily basis within all facets of the organization. He continued using the Lean concept in the steel industry as a laborer, machine operator and middle molding lead where he used his experience to help line production increase in efficiency and lessen wastes in the production process. While working in the steel industry Jason started to learn how to become a servant leader as well as going to the Gemba to see what was actually going on at where the work is done. He gained a ton of experience, learned how to build relationships, and help people grow as well as succeed at their job. Jason moved to Arizona and became production supervisor with a metal manufacturer and continued to learn how to guide and grow his people through servant leadership and respect for people. He then moved on to an essential oils bottling facility and this is where he garnered a strong passion for Lean Leadership to help companies and their processes become more efficient and help drive waste reduction through lean practices. Using these Lean practices he was able to build a team that would become future leaders and ambassadors of the company and create a respect for people through servant leadership.
