Hello! I am a Director of Design with over 25 years of experience producing brand elevating product design in a fast based, design to market role. My work is seen and purchased by millions through major retailers including Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sears, and Bed Bath and Beyond. In addition, people interface with my products daily, as they are installed in most major hotel chains.

My most recent position was Director of Design at Marcone Supply. My role in conjunction with the Product Development Team is to be forward looking and develop unique, market changing programs, product, and packaging with channel appropriate aesthetics and functions. I currently hold over 85 U.S. patents.

Prior to joining Marcone Supply, Speakman & PPG, I worked for 8 years with Zenith Products Corporation in several different capacities. Most recently, as the Senior Industrial Designer with a strong focus on retail-based bath product, ranging from bath furniture and vanities, to shower storage products, shower-rods, and product displays.

In addition, a background in both product design and engineering has provided me with a unique skill set and knowledge in the marriage of “form and function” within products. I most recently used my talents to merge the Marcone Supply and its sub-brands history of quality engineered product with current and forward-looking designs, as well as helping to reinforce brand identity through packaging development.

I was born into a military family in Fort Riley, KS and spent my youth living and traveling abroad in Europe. I obtained a BS in Industrial Design at Virginia Tech with a background in Architecture. My hobbies include automotive/motorcycle restoration and customization, as well as home remodeling and DIY projects.
