Chamber Staff

I am pleased and honored to be your new Chamber Executive Director.

I have over 40 years of management experience, mostly in the aviation industry. I have spent much of my career in a leadership role of small to medium size Avionics and aviation navigation information companies, and have contributed mostly in the Software Development, Business Development and Product Marketing arenas of aviation, and with a focus on managing people and teams to exceed expectations while maintaining and adhering to our fiscal responsibilities.

I have led due diligence teams for new acquisitions into some of the companies I worked for and also the divestment of smaller business within the corporations I served. I have facilitated Strategic Planning sessions for several organizations and have been an MC and featured speaker at industry events around the world.

Since retiring from the aviation industry, including giving up my pilots license, I have served as Board Vice-Chair for the Andover Chamber, Chair of the Mid-Kansas Community Action Program Board, and I also served as the Executive Director of Thrive! Butler. My wife and I have 5 sons with the last one currently attending Washburn University.

I look forward to serving all of our member businesses, the City of El Dorado and the El Dorado community in the months and years ahead.
