My Experience
I enjoy the wide range of people and applications that I run across in my role as a Field Sales Engineer. The engineering challenges of my clients keep me on my toes and make for exciting days.
Working at Bastian
I like the people I work with within our company, supplier base and clients. Working together cooperatively to bring solutions to reality is what gets me going each morning.
Why do customers come back to me?
I believe that my clients know that they can count on me to bring them the best solutions for their needs, to follow through on my commitments and to deal fairly and honestly with them to make sure that they are satisfied with each project no matter how big or small.
A little bit about myself
My beautiful wife Darla has blessed us with two children, Alex and Kayla. Both are musicians. Alex plays piano and guitar and Kayla plays piano. Alex is a distance runner and hurdler. Kayla is an accomplished volleyball player with special skills in the shopping arts. I enjoy most sports, especially outdoors. I enjoy adventures and go on backpacking trips as often as I can.

Project work I am most proud of
I have helped an injection molding plant with several projects to automate their production and assembly operations with carefully designed conveyor systems. I have worked closely with an electronics manufacturer to streamline their material delivery and finished goods systems through the combined use of ergonomic equipment, specialized towables and conveyor systems. I designed and implemented a $2M warehouse rack project for an industrial components distributor.
