When I’m not working, I ride my bicycle about 5,000 miles a year. Since 2018, my wife and I have dedicated a significant portion of our bike riding time to raising funds for epilepsy research and education programs in honor of my late sister, Anne. Every year we come up with some new way to challenge ourselves to show our commitment to this effort. In 2025, we rode 100 miles on back to back days and raised over $4,000. I’ve been with ASK Chemicals since 20007. I was the R&D Chemist for sand additives and riser sleeves until 2012. Since 2012, I have been a product manager for various product lines including metallurgy and no bake binders. My current responsibility is sleeves, focusing on iron foundries, covering all of North America.
