I grew up in the southern part of Chicago, where my love for hands-on work was shaped by a close-knit community of hardworking tradespeople. Back then, I spent my spare time on the rugby field, learning how to push forward against tough competition—lessons that still fuel my approach to providing customers with reliable solutions. As I transitioned from the field into professional roles, I eventually found my way to Milwaukee, where the city’s drive for innovation and strong industrial heritage matched my own passion for continuous improvement.
Connecting with clients as Mac-Tech’s National Product Manager and Regional Sales Executive is something I take seriously. Inspired by my background, I get immense satisfaction from rolling up my sleeves and collaborating with people to improve their manufacturing processes. My down-to-earth perspective—shaped by both rugby and an appreciation for the grit required to keep operations running—guides me in building relationships rooted in trust, integrity, and expertise.
Today, I focus on helping companies reduce downtime in their downspout roll forming processes. Whether you’re a seasoned manufacturer or just getting started, my mission is to keep your roll forming machines running smoothly with proactive service strategies. It’s all about preventing surprise breakdowns and maximizing productivity.

FAQ
How do I justify the cost of preventative maintenance?
Preventative maintenance is one of the best investments you can make. By avoiding costly shutdowns and premature component failures, you’ll see a stronger return over the life of your machine. My experience with Mac-Tech has shown that these strategies often pay for themselves through enhanced uptime and productivity.
How frequently should we schedule routine service checks?
This varies by workload and machine type, but I recommend quarterly assessments as a starting point. If your production levels are high or you’re working with more substantial materials, we can talk about more frequent inspections.
What type of training do Mac-Tech and you offer?
We offer targeted in-person and remote training sessions to bring your operators and maintenance teams up to speed. With my background in field service, I’ll help them develop a deep understanding of each machine and reinforce best practices for upkeep.
Can older machines benefit from preventative maintenance?
Absolutely. In my experience, older models can often deliver many more years of reliable performance if we implement proactive checks and timely part replacements. I’ll help you assess whether an upgrade or refurbishment makes more sense for your workflow.
How do I know if my downspout roll former needs an upgrade?
When production goals outgrow your current machine’s capacity or repair costs begin to climb, it’s likely time for an upgrade. My job is to guide you through that decision based on a fair assessment of costs and benefits.
