My Experience
I have been with Bastian for 12 years. I originally served as a Project Manager and Design Engineer before being promoted to Manager of the Systems and Controls groups and becoming a partner in the business. I enjoy the fast-paced projects we get involved with and solving our customer's problems with solutions customized to their operations. I am proud of our employees and their dedication to make every project sucessful for our customers.
Working at Bastian
I love our people, the opportunities our company gives to high performers and the responsibilities we are trusted with.
Why do customers come back to me?
I think customers come back for value and service. We go beyond just quoting a piece of equipment; we help develop a solution and often alternatives that they can consider. We also make sure we deliver on our promises.
A little bit about myself
I have been happily married to Kara for almost 20 years. We have two wonderful children who take up most of my free time. I enjoy coaching my kids sports teams, watersports, snowboarding and competing in triathlons. I completed the Ironman in 2008.

Project work I am most proud of
I am proud of all of the projects we have done, but one of the most memorable is one we did with a pharmacy retailer. We were a pretty young team at that time and the first project was relatively large. I enjoy going back and seeing that system continue to deliver for them. And the people there are all great, very competent professionals, who make you feel welcome.
