He started in December of 1999 under the Brandt name as an Industrial Engineer. In his tenure he worked for Brandt, De La Rue, Talaris, and Glory. He was a key stakeholder in the continued success of the organization by supporting not only the transitions of ownership, facility expansions, product lines, but also the safety and well-being of the employees.
