This summer will mark my third year at Genuine Innovations and my 18th year living in Tucson. After a year spent teaching and coaching I have since been involved in manufacturing and manufacturing planning type of functions for over 25 years. Those years have seen me move from my original home in Southern California to Houston for 10 years, back to California for a few years and finally to Tucson.

During that time I have worked for some of the leading companies in their fields: including paper & label stock, swimming pool equipment, downhole oil & gas well equipment, aircraft engine components, residential locks and aircraft avionics and interiors.

Although my college playing days have long past, my passion is still basketball. I seldom turn down the opportunity to attend or watch a game. Rumor has it that I have awakened in the middle of the night with my thumb on an imaginary TV remote searching for a game. I also try to get on the golf course as often as possible.

(And, no, dice and 8-ball may be fun but they are not part of the planning process. There really are proven methods to the madness!)
