I fell in love with industrial and systems engineering after a few stubborn years sticking with mechanical engineering. I am a proud Hokie who has always been fascinated by the powerful combination of people, 过程, 和技术. I have long been passionate about 过程 improvement, from trying to figure out how to make raking leaves easier as a 12 year old kid to redesigning mail 过程ing operations.
My wife Joanna has been my partner in life for more than 20 years, 帮我毕业, become a successful leader and raise our three kids. Although we reside in West Springfield, 维吉尼亚州, 在我的家乡费尔法克斯附近, we had 12 years of adventure in Philadelphia, 波士顿, 和里士满.
I have been proud to work for the Postal Service for over 17 years serving as an industrial engineer and then plant manager in several 过程ing facilities. 在麻省理工学院获得MBA学位后, I came to headquarters starting out leading national 过程ing operations, then vice president of our technology and analytics group, followed by chief human resources officer. 在我目前的职位上, 我超过了160,000 employees that 过程 mail and packages in 298 facilities, and manage the logistics that connect our plants to over 30,000 post offices enabling over 250,000 mail carriers that serve 161 million addresses six to seven days per week. 不管是什么角色, the industrial engineering skill set and Ut Prosim mindset have served me well.
