My responsibilities as a trade sales rep entail project consulting & design along with project management. I enjoy getting to take vision on a set of construction plans and bring it to fruition for my customers projects. After being in the business for 25 years, I have gained extensive installation and construction knowledge that I apply every time I work with customers.

I started my career at 17 as a general laborer with a remodeling company and later started my career here at Pella of Omaha & Lincoln in 2002. I began in our business as an installer then moved up to an install manager, then to fleet manager and then safety manager. I moved into my current position in 2012 as a trade sales rep.

Education: Western Iowa Tech Community College – Bachelor’s Degree in Architectural Engineering & Construction Technology

I have 3 boys (24 yrs old, 21 yrs old, & 19 yrs old) and 1 granddaughter. I enjoy anything that involves racing of some sort, especially road coarse racing, classic cars or riding my motorcycle. I have been a member of the Waterloo Fire Dept. since 2013 with several credentials including EMT, Firefighter 1 & 2, and Incident Command.
