Presenter bio

After completing a bachelor's degree in economics from John Carroll University, I began my career in the paint and coatings in 1999. With 27 years of experience in the coatings industry, I bring extensive expertise across multiple market segments. For the past 10 years, I have been with Dunn-Edwards, working in both sales and architectural services roles. The last six years have been here in Phoenix where I relocated with my wife and son from San Diego. I currently serve on the Board of Directors as Treasurer of the Phoenix Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI).  My primary focus is collaborating with architects and specifiers to support informed product selection and the development of commercial project specifications.
