Vernon, British Columbia, Canada
I lead sales and application engineering for FIMA Maschinenbau in North America, acting as the regional representative for custom centrifugal compressors and blower systems, including API applications. My background is built on a combination of hands-on experience and project execution. Before moving into commercial roles, I worked across construction, fabrication, and field environments, and later managed compressor projects at FIMA’s headquarters in Germany, from technical clarification and procurement through manufacturing, factory acceptance testing, and delivery. I transitioned into sales after several years in project management, bringing that execution experience into customer-facing work. Today, I work with customers to develop practical, technically sound solutions for complex applications, supporting projects from early-stage discussions through to execution and commissioning. This includes both on-site and remote commissioning support for projects globally. My focus is on bridging the gap between engineering, commercial, and real-world operation, ensuring solutions are not only technically correct, but buildable and reliable in the field. I am particularly interested in applications where standard approaches fall short and a deeper understanding of both process and equipment is required. Outside of work, I enjoy staying hands-on, working on vehicles, off-roading, and motorcycles, as well as spending time outdoors and staying active with my family. Open to connecting with others in rotating equipment and industrial applications.
