What excites you about industrial manufacturing?

Successful manufacturing operations rely on skilled professionals, strategic problem-solving, and continuous innovation. Contributing to their progress and long-term success is both meaningful and impactful.

How do you spend your free time away from work?

Outside of work, I spend most of my free time with my fiancé and our dog. I also enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, along with rooting for the Buckeyes.
