How I Elevate Custom Roofing Trim and Panels with High-Precision Fiber Laser Cutting

I grew up in southern Chicago, where hard work and grit were as much a part of daily life as deep-dish pizza. My years playing rugby taught me the importance of teamwork and being ready to pivot under pressure—skills that now guide the way I serve my customers. When I moved to Milwaukee, I discovered a city with a strong industrial backbone that resonates with my approach: invest in relationships first, and the results follow.

Working and living across these diverse communities has shaped my perspective on customer care. I understand that building trust matters more than making a quick sale. Whether I’m chatting with a small shop owner who’s just getting started or a seasoned manufacturer looking to expand, I treat every relationship as an opportunity to learn and grow together.

Over time, I’ve seen how fiber laser cutting has revolutionized the metal roofing industry, enabling incredible precision and speed. My journey has been about helping roofing professionals harness this technology so they can grow their businesses through custom trim, flashing, and decorative panels. And as Regional Sales Executive at Mac-Tech, I’m here to guide you with proven solutions and genuine dedication.
