Ultra Clean Technology initially hired me to manage a key account team from sales and marketing, to field support and business strategy. This key account is today UCT's largest customer globally and has helped UCT become a multibillion-dollar company. Once this business moved into a sustaining focus I transitioned into a position focused on leading a New Business Development team growing UCT's industry focus with new customers in new regions of the world. This opportunity truly introduced me to the challenges and growth opportunities in manufacturing Semiconductor equipment in the United States. This was a very pivotal job in my professional career. I took what I learned and applied it to creating Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions and the leadership and culture focus I have today.

This was my first professional job out of college. I was given this opportunity by Spence Lasley and Tim Foster and what I learned in this position has been the foundation of my 30+ year career in the technology industry. In this role, I sold and marketed front-end manufacturing, inspection, and support equipment to the Semiconductor, Thin Film Head, Tape Drive, and Disk Drive Industries in the Western USA and Europe. I had the opportunity to create and manage a sales office in MN and Southern CA and train an international network of sales representatives on new technology advancements in the Semiconductor Equipment Industry. I was given the opportunity to learn the Semiconductor manufacturing process from final inspection and backend packaging to the pulling of monocrystalline seed crystals out of melted silicon. Ultimately, I was taught the art of selling, the importance of manufacturing, and the value of hard work.

ARMA is the manufacturing voice and community for Austin, TX. We are the hub of advocacy, networking, and workforce development. I have had the opportunity to be a part of the formation and growth of this very important Association supporting the manufacturing community in Central Texas and serve as the Chairman of the Board in 2016.

Act as a sounding board for the future direction and growth of TSTC in Central Texas and provide a framework for each TSTC campus to replicate this process.
