Growing up in southern Chicago and playing rugby during my younger years taught me the importance of resilience, rapid problem-solving, and unwavering teamwork. Those values followed me when I moved to Milwaukee and became the Regional Sales Executive here at Mac-Tech. My customers notice that approach in the way I communicate and collaborate with them—I believe in straightforward, practical solutions that keep everyone’s goals in focus while maintaining a friendly, neighborly rapport.
When I was tackling opposing teams in rugby, every maneuver needed to be precise and well-timed. In the field of metal roofing production, I’ve learned that success relies just as much on timing, strategy, and using the right equipment. That’s why I’m passionate about CIDAN Panel Benders and other cutting-edge machinery—these tools help our customers overcome the challenges of material waste, inconsistent bends, and inefficient workflows.
Metal roofing manufacturers face high demand for precision, speed, and reliability. My upbringing and experiences have instilled in me a commitment to help them find solutions that can adapt and evolve as quickly as they do. Here’s how I go about solving complex production problems.
My Strategies for Efficient Metal Roofing Production
I often see metal roofing producers struggle with unnecessary material waste due to imprecise or inconsistent bends. My first step is to evaluate their production process in person or through video demonstrations. By pinpointing the inefficiencies, I can recommend solutions like CIDAN Panel Benders, which provide remarkable bending accuracy and speed without the costly waste that often occurs with less sophisticated machines.
CIDAN’s range of panel benders allows for quick tooling changes and advanced automation, making them a tremendous asset for any roofing operation. I especially appreciate the intuitive software and the minimal physical strain these machines place on operators. When a factory can rely on precision forming every time, it cuts down on rejected parts, improves overall quality, and ensures consistent throws and results—just like a well-placed pass on the rugby pitch.
Maintaining close contact with my customers means I can guide them on practical machine configurations that fit their scale and budget. Whether they’re producing straightforward panels or more complex roofing components, my goal is to dial in both speed and quality so that downtime is limited, and production lines flow seamlessly. By focusing on their end product, I’m able to propose the perfect synergy of machinery, software, and training.
