I began my career in 1998 after receiving a Mechanical Engineering degree from Western Michigan University and for the next 22 years was dedicated to all things EAM and APM.  I spent 18 years with GE Energy starting my career as an end user of Maximo, SAP, MP-2, Engica, GPMaTe, and Empac before coming to the realization that Maximo was the best in class.  I led installations implemented different EAM software, worked with technicians to build asset and maintenance data, trained O&M users at power plants, and helped grow a fleet of 35+ Maximo sites with their Reliability Maintenance Programs.  After realizing there was more than just EAM out there, I implemented and supported GE Digital in their Asset Performance Management journey.  In 2018, I took my talents to the IBM Asset Optimization Services team where you can guess, got the opportunity to implement Maximo at many different client sites.  In 2020 I moved over to the IBM software side and you guessed, I am now supporting pre-sales as a Client Technical Professional for the Maximo Application Suite which includes EAM, APM, and our MRO IO products.

 

Currently, my role with IBM is to support clients in the industrial sector for any AI and Maximo Application Suite software.  I have a wide network of other Maximo technical professionals within IBM and our partner ecosystem to support all industries.

As you can see from my website, I am an avid sports fan as well, especially Football and Basketball.  I have three teenage children and have been coaching their basketball teams for the past 12 years while also acting as the Basketball Director for our school league. I am a huge Ohio State Buckeye, Cleveland Browns/Indians, and Atlanta United fan.  If I am not working in Maximo, I am normally on the court with my son or watching my favorite sports!
