I am a general manager with 40 years of experience in leadership roles with market-leading companies, like Kohler Company, Master Lock Company, W.W. Grainger, and Pella Windows.  I am also author of the book "Control Alt Delete Leadership," released in 2010.  I enjoy leading teams and teaching student's new skills to help them succeed in the evolving world of business, and I've been doing just that at Marquette since 2020.
