I have over 20 years experience in the pool, spa and aquatics industry. I am an engineer by background, having attended the University of Toledo, majoring in Engineering Physics. Prior to pursuing a career in the aquatics industry, I was the Chief Technical Officer, Vice President of Engineering for Anchor Glass Container. I was one of the principals in taking Anchor Glass Container private as part of a leveraged buy-out from the Anchor Hocking Corporation. Prior to joining Anchor Hocking as Director of Engineering, I was a Chief Engineer for the Owens-Illinois Corporation in Toledo, Ohio.

I have provided litigation support in several pool-spa related injury and death cases. I was elected to the Who’s Who in Aquatics in 2004, and obtained my contractor’s license from the State of Florida in 1994.
