About

As Operations Manager at CMS Controls, I thrive on building strong, collaborative teams and creating processes that drive both efficiency and quality. I enjoy dissecting complex problems, finding clear solutions, and guiding projects from challenge to success. I believe the key to long-term success lies in empowering people—helping individuals grow while keeping the bigger picture in focus. Whether it’s aligning resources, solving technical challenges, or navigating project dynamics, I approach every situation with a mindset of adaptability and problem-solving. Outside of work, I’m passionate about vintage car and motorcycle restoration, as well as road course racing. These hobbies mirror what I value in my professional life: attention to detail, creative problem-solving, and the drive to push limits.
