About
Proud father of three, married to the love of my life. When I’m not mountain biking, mountaineering, skiing, or following my favorite teams (Vancouver Canucks Hockey, Mercedes F1, Seattle Mariners Baseball, Borussia Dortmund Soccer, Michigan State Football), I’m helping shape the future of industrial operations.
As a chemical engineer with nearly 15 years in the refining industry, I’ve worked globally to deliver reliable, sustainable hydrocarbon solutions that support the energy transition. In my current role as Engineering Manager, I lead a large team focused on safe, optimized refinery operations. We’ve embedded data scientists alongside engineers, expanded use of tools like Palantir, and integrated AI directly into workflows, driving measurable gains in safety, reliability, and efficiency. A week after the conference were delivering AI 101 training to 120 front line workers.
I’m especially interested in connecting with others who see the potential of AI and digital transformation to reinvent manufacturing and industrial operations. If you’re passionate about where technology meets the real world of making things, let’s talk.
