Founder & CEO

The Blackrock Group

The Blackrock Group offers supply chain consulting services in a variety of industries.  Our focus is helping our customers achieve accelerated business transformation in an ever changing world.

Pegasus Logistics Group

I was responsible for the transformation of an existing IT department into an enterprise class service organization.  This included implementation of company wide processes, procedures, tools and training to align with industry best practice and allow for rapid company scaling.  I created a Program Management Office to facilitate both long term strategic initiatives and the successful tactical execution of immediate projects.  I instituted a balanced scorecard strategy and process.

Vice President of IT & PMO

FedEx Supply Chain

I held positions of progressive responsibility at FedEx Supply Chain (previously ATCLE and GENCO). I was the IT Manager overseeing the development and sustainment departments before I assumed responsibility in December of 2010 for all strategic initiatives for IT.  In this role I partnered with all department heads as well as senior management to identify and clarify a business’s development needs and objectives.  I led the design, development and implementation of innovative solutions to enhance service, increase customer satisfaction, improve operations and reduce cost.  These responsibilities included identifying enterprise-wide issues, quantifying impacts, developing improvement strategies, implementing integrated solutions, managing transformation and delivering results to executives.

Senior Director IT, Strategic Integration (Senior Customer Technology Consultant)

ConAgra Foods

As a WMS consultant I provided ConAgra with technical training and leadership during the migration of support services for RedPrairie WMS from remote to corporate offices.  I provided 24/7 level 2 support for 14 facilities across the United States while training new staff to man a new office.

Supply Chain Consultant

Bacou-Dalloz

At Bacou-Dalloz (now Honeywell) I provided technical guidance and direction during the build out of a new centralized distribution facility.  This included oversight of the facilities technical infrastructure and the implementation of the warehouse management system.  I was responsible for the technical strategy and the day to day operations of the IT department in the facility.

IT Operations Manager

While at EDS, I held numerous positions of increasing responsibility.  First hired as a temporary floor worker in the distribution center I also held the positions of line operator, shift lead and eventually business analyst.  It was in this role that I was responsible for tier one support of a large WMS installation, custom development and numerous RedPrairie implementations.

🍄 No Pour MycoDish™️ - Unfuck Petridishes for Mycologists.

The Mycelium Revolution is upon us. It provides a cruelty-free way to create meat-like nutrition, styrofoam-like packaging, scaffolding for growing organs, leather imitations, wood imitations, concrete-like construction materials, interior design, and much more. Its fruits can be used for gourmet, next-gen medicinal, and pharmaceutical purposes. However, current cultivation techniques, especially petri dishes are not ideal for large-scale mycelium cultivation due to their need for sterile conditions, which require expensive equipment like a lab or a laminar flow hood. They lack sterility and fresh air exchange, necessitating the use of costly parafilm, which must be repeatedly applied and removed, leading to waste and risk of contamination.

The No Pour MycoDish™️ has been engineered to address these issues. It allows for inoculation and extraction of spores and mycelium without opening the container, eliminating contamination risks. This design ensures higher quality and safety, with less waste and stress. The MycoDish™️ combines German durability and Swiss precision for an exceptional agar experience.

mindbuilding

The enormous effects that regular meditation on our brain have now been proven in numerous scientific studies. The mindbuilding app offers you unique meditation courses, mindfulness trips through the real world, a knowledge area for the theory & research of mindfulness, daily inspiration, large live meditation sessions, your own meditation groups and more.
However the market is overcrowded by esoteric or superficial products. We wanted to build an authentic and helpful product which makes german-speaking users accessible to explore the practice of meditation and examine the theory behind it.
I was responsible for:
- evalulating the product with landing pages
- evaluated the business model by conducting a crowdfunding campaign

Model-driven approach to Smart Production/IIoT/Industry 4.0; Aligning interconnected industrial standards through transformation of meta models: ISA-95, ISA-88, AutomationML, OPC UA, REA

Among the plethora of industrial standards available in the context of smart manufacturing, one series of standards is consistently being mentioned for dealing with manufacturing operations management: IEC 62264 aka ISA 95. Its second part provides a conceptual model for the description of production systems and their capabilities, including runtime information such as concrete maintenance schedules or achieved production goals. In this work, we present a concrete graphical syntax and toolkit for the creation and presentation of IEC 62264-2 compliant models, using techniques from model-driven (software) engineering. We have evaluated our tool by conducting a user study for assessing its usability and effectiveness.
