A St. Louis native and University of Missouri–Columbia graduate, he has spent his entire professional career in PVF distribution — building a real-world command of the steel industry that is equal parts technical depth and field-tested instinct. Before joining American Piping Products, he held roles that sharpened his expertise in sourcing, specifications, and the kind of long-term customer partnerships that define this business.
At American Piping Products, he is proud to be part of a team recognized for its inventory depth and dependability in the market. What keeps him engaged day after day is the problem-solving — every challenge is different, and doing it well demands both technical knowledge and the ability to move fast when customers need answers. Just as rewarding are the long-term relationships that come from working alongside customers in some of the most demanding environments in the industry.
“What I enjoy most is the daily problem-solving — it’s a constant mental challenge that requires both technical knowledge and responsiveness.”
Outside of work, he is kept happily busy by his wife and their five children. The family loves to travel — with beach trips a recurring favorite. He is an avid fan of live music across the rock spectrum and spends his quieter moments reading, with a particular interest in history and current events.
