In Short

My entire career of 45 plus years in the Paper Industry has been in Specialty Papermaking.

Wise Words

"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."

- C. Swindoll

Absolute Axiom

"You Can't Change One Thing."

Inherent with every potential solution is change!

Inherent in every change is risk.

Therefore every change has some to-be-determined impact on another variable somewhere in the system or process.

This interrelationship requires anticipation during the problem solving/decision making process in order to predict those variables affected and plan accordingly.

Anticipating and balancing risk/benefit relationships is one of my greatest strengths.

My Services

I provide problem solving, temporary technical and operational support to the Specialty Paper Industry. I supply these services to both plant and supplier organizations.

Work can be on either a daily or contract basis.

My practical approach to everyday operations has been widely recognized in all plants where I have worked. My supportive methods assure that every client's workforce receives a foundation to build on after I leave.

As always, I am but a phone call away to clarify concepts when necessary.

I have not had 42 one-year experiences. My experience has been widely varied and always in “specialty" products: specialty tissue, saturation grades, carbonizing tissue, heavy weight paperboard, matboard, file folder, and many highly filled latex reinforced products supplying the appliance, automotive, graphic arts, book cover, and high end packaging markets.

I will be able to “hit the ground running” and help your business in many ways.

Call me if you need temporary help to fill a vacant position in Manufacturing, Engineering, or Maintenance. My management style is designed to impart training and knowledge to your employees by demonstrating alternative problem solving techniques and basic thinking skills that will last long after I have left the scene.
