I did not complete my MBA as I began traveling extensively for my job.

Studied engineering with a focus on the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment, and energy to assure performance, reliability, maintainability, schedule adherence, and cost control. We were taught to always look at the “big picture” of an operation or system and bridge the gap between management and operations. Dr. Jack Byrd was the head of the department and was a key motivator of the students and taught me that motivation of people is a key driver in addition to efficient systems and processes. I learned how important this was during two internships I completed during my time in school and have applied it throughout my career.
