Faculty BIO

After serving 7 years in the United States Army in the medical field, I went to the University of Cincinnati with a major in business. While going to school, I became involved in the floor covering industry and it stuck. I have been involved from the retail, distribution, and manufacturing sides. Currently, I am the Chief Operating Officer for an international company called Proflex Products, Inc., specializing in sound control underlayments and complete systems for any of your floorcovering needs. I sit on the ASTM E33 and E60 committees for sound control and waterproofing and the TCNA and NTCA technical committees; I am also a member of the NWFA and GREEN Council of North America.
