My Experience
As Bastian Material Handling's Vice President of Eastern U.S., I provide several years of material handling management and leadership experience. Since joining the BMH family in 1993 I have served in various roles including Inside Sales Engineer, Design Engineer, Project Manager, Branch Manager, and Regional Manager. I have been instrumental in the design and implementation of several multi-million dollar integrated projects throughout the United States involving the latest industry technologies of material handling equipment, supply chain execution software and controls systems. In 2003 I started the BMH Cincinnati operation while managing three other branch offices. In 2006 I became a Managing Partner and member of the Halo Executive Board of Directors. I recently initiated the start-up operations for the BMH Atlanta office.
Working at Bastian
BMH has tremendous people! Regardless of which business unit you're working with, the people are dynamic, hard working and solution-oriented and they truly care about pleasing their clients. This creates a culture of high achievers with creative ideas. It's really fun!
Why do customers come back to me?
Clients enjoy working with me because I listen to them, freely lend experienced advice, create action and simply do what I promise. My goal is to make the customer's experience easy and, when possible, make it fun!
A little bit about myself
My family and I reside in Lebanon, Ohio. I enjoy watching and participating in a variety of sporting events, doing home improvement projects, reading "How To" books, traveling and most of all spending time with my family.
