Let me start off by saying that I am a proud Michigan State University graduate with a BA in General Business – Prelaw.  GO STATE!  I zig zagged my way to UCG, having spent some time as a Market Research Analyst and Inventory Manager at previous companies.  Finally, I joined United Commodity Group in 2001.  Time sure does fly when you are doing what you love!  Today, I am the Operations Manager at UCG and handle anything and everything that comes my way.  No two days are ever similar in my position, but the relationships that I have built with my customers, vendors, coworkers and industry colleagues are consistent and long lasting.  Every day is full of challenges and I am truly excited to be part of the growth of such a dynamic company.

Outside of work?  Well, my wife and two children will tell you that I rarely sit down.  My beautiful 6 year old daughter and active 3 year old son definitely keep me busy.  As a family, we enjoy sports of all kinds, traveling, staying active with our church and working around the house.  I am also an avid runner and enjoy playing golf and basketball with friends.
