I’ve spent my career figuring out how things work—and helping make them work better.
I’ve worked on the manufacturing floor, led improvement efforts, and run businesses of my own. All of that shapes how I approach a project.
I enjoy getting into the details, but I never want to lose sight of the people who have to use the process every day.
A little more about my background.
I’ve had the chance to work in manufacturing engineering, Six Sigma, continuous improvement, and medical device validation. The common thread has been working with people across a business to understand a problem and make progress together.
Most recently, at Katalyst Surgical, part of the ZEISS Group, I worked on precision manufacturing processes and validation projects. I developed and executed qualification plans and protocols, worked with requirements and verification documents, and supported capability studies, PFMEAs, and control plans.
Before that, I started at Lear Corporation as a project engineer and later became a Six Sigma Black Belt and Continuous Improvement Manager. I learned a lot there about leading change with the people who actually run the process, and about making sure an improvement still works after the project team moves on.
I’ve also built businesses outside manufacturing. I founded and later sold CAD Enterprises LLC, a national driver network. I also built Blue Sun Properties LLC, a vacation rental business that grew to manage roughly 80 properties. Running those businesses gave me a lasting appreciation for schedules, budgets, customer relationships, and the little details that can make or break a project.
My wife and I returned to Florida in 2026 to be closer to family. I left my role at Katalyst Surgical when we made that move and started JSP Coastal Consulting LLC to bring my technical and operational experience to teams that could use it. I’m happy to work remotely or travel for planned onsite projects.
