I grew up on the south side of Chicago, where grit and determination are woven into your DNA. My rugby days taught me the value of teamwork and endurance, and later, my move to Milwaukee opened my eyes to the city’s manufacturing heritage and hardworking community spirit. Today, I bring that same resilience and collaborative mindset to every customer interaction at Mac-Tech. I want to be more than your point of contact—I aim to be your go-to partner for advanced fabrication solutions.
My passion for helping others succeed comes from years of figuring out what makes a solid team tick. In rugby, helping your teammates is the only way to win. Now, I channel that ethic into matching you with the right machinery—technology that will truly elevate your roofing panel production. I’m all about forging relationships that last well beyond the initial sale.
At Mac-Tech, I serve as Regional Sales Executive, which means I get a front-row seat to groundbreaking equipment every day. But more importantly, I get to see manufacturers improve their speed, precision, and bottom line. I can’t wait to share my fiber laser insights with you.
My Fiber Laser Advantage: Speed and Precision for Roofing
Fiber lasers have revolutionized how I approach roofing projects. In my experience, a fiber laser’s speed combined with its cutting-edge beam quality makes it the ideal choice for producing accurate roofing panels and trims. The technology zooms through dense metal materials effortlessly, allowing your production line to run smoothly, even in high-demand situations.
Its precision speaks for itself. The consistent, near-perfect cuts minimize reworks and scrap, driving down costs in the long run. I’ve seen customers move from slower cutting methods to fiber, immediately noticing tighter tolerances and no distortion on the edges of their parts. When you’re working on roofing panels that have to withstand tough conditions, every fraction of an inch matters.
With brands like Mazak and others in Mac-Tech’s lineup, I can recommend a fiber laser solution tailored to your unique operation. I’ve guided roofing manufacturers to machines that handle a wide range of materials and thicknesses, ensuring they have the confidence to take on new projects without sacrificing speed or accuracy.
