The Approach

I started in my grandfathers machine shops— hands-on with fixturing, applications, and cnc production. That background shapes how I sell. I don't lead with price. I lead with process.

Before I recommend a machine, I want to understand what you're making, what you're running it on now, and where the pain is — whether that's cost of operations, downtime, quality, or throughput.

I've built tools to help with this: TCO calculators, competitive cost-of-operation analyses, and application references from similar shops. If the numbers don't work, I'll tell you.

⚙️
Technical Background Started as a hands-on Sales Engineer — fixturing, applications, data analytics. Not just a quota carrier.
📊
Data-Driven Decisions Custom TCO tools and cost-of-operation models so your investment decision is built on your actual numbers.
🤝
Dealer Network Trained Biesse dealers across the West with direct access to me for technical depth on every serious opportunity.
📡
Remote Diagnostics TEKNI's platform supports real-time remote support — faster resolution, less downtime on your floor.
