I grew up on the south side of Chicago, where I learned the value of tough training, teamwork, and always looking out for those in your corner. Rugby was my game, a sport that taught me resilience and a commitment to continuous improvement. After I transitioned to professional life, I found myself in Milwaukee, bringing that same tenacity to every customer relationship I build. As National Product Manager/Regional Sales Executive at Mac-Tech (pat@mac-tech.com, 414-232-7929), I believe in partnering with our customers to make sure they achieve consistent, high-quality roofing panel profiles—every single time.
My passion for advanced roll forming calibration runs deep. I’ve seen firsthand that a bit of fine-tuning goes a long way in guaranteeing roofing panel consistency. Coming from a place where you respect the craft and trust in the process, I take great pride in ensuring every machine we deliver gets the attention it deserves. Through patience and problem-solving, I aim to offer not just equipment, but valuable expertise and ongoing support.
My Mac-Tech-Driven Roll Forming Calibration Insights
I’ve worked with a variety of roll forming machines over the years—from classic models to the latest automated lines—and I’ve come to realize that calibration is both an art and a science. Understanding the specific needs of each roofing panel profile helps me create a finely tuned system that delivers uniform results over and over. By using advanced gauges and carefully adjusting each roll station, we keep profiles consistent down to the millimeter.
For me, it’s not just about checking a box; it’s about being precise in every detail. Whether we’re dealing with high-strength steel or aluminum, my team and I pay close attention to tension, alignment, and tooling. By partnering with Mac-Tech’s network of service experts, I can schedule regular machine audits that catch potential problems before they ever happen. This proactive stance ensures our customers stay ahead of the curve.
At Mac-Tech, we’re big believers in building relationships that last. Our approach goes beyond equipment sales by offering custom calibration programs, thorough operator training, and follow-up service. From my perspective, it’s essential to keep the lines of communication open. If a customer calls with a concern, we respond quickly with solutions that have been proven in the field. My aim is to guarantee you get the best performance out of your roll forming machines from day one.

Boosting Efficiency with Precision Profile Consistency
Having played rugby, I’m a firm believer in teamwork—and that extends to how I handle our customer relationships. I coordinate closely with engineers, technicians, and operators, ensuring everyone understands the importance of consistent panel profiles. The synergy helps me offer recommendations like adjusting feed rates or upgrading tooling, leading to a smoother production flow and fewer unplanned shutdowns.
Consistency isn’t just a buzzword—it’s an essential factor for profitability. If a batch of roofing panels comes out uneven, you lose time, material, and possibly customer confidence. By focusing on precise calibration and maintenance, I help clients avoid these pitfalls. Whether it’s a quick machine tune-up or a full overhaul, my goal is to keep production lines humming without compromising on the finished product’s quality.
What makes Mac-Tech different is our long-term commitment. I don’t just hand over a machine and walk away. We provide continuous support, from outfitting you with the right spare parts to training new operators on best practices. By investing in ongoing partnerships, we ensure you get the most out of your roll forming equipment. A well-maintained machine that produces consistent profiles is the recipe for success in today’s competitive roofing market.
