Sales Development, Tulsa Office
I was born in Orange, CA and raised in Tulsa, OK. I joined Great Plains in 2000 and started my journey in the stainless piping product business. I was fortunate to work internationally with Great Plains Stainless in 2007 for a time gaining a global perspective of the industry. I have visited several mills in the metal industry, and I enjoy continuously learning about products and metal market trends. I am pleased to help customers with their stainless piping needs. My favorite personal activities are running, watching sports, playing musical instruments, and reading books. I’m happily married with three boys and reside in Tulsa, OK
