About

Problem Solver. Trusted Partner. Straight Shooter. My life’s philosophy is simple: work hard to get people what they need, do it with integrity, gratitude, and a smile—and let the rest take care of itself. I’m in the business of solutions. Whether it’s sourcing high-performance vapor barriers, structuring deals, or delivering custom refrigerated rinks, I thrive on matching the right product to the right need—quickly, efficiently, and with the customer’s best interest in mind. People know they can count on me because I listen first, put their needs above all else, and always follow through. Through Vapor Barrier Supply, Farm Plastic Supply, and Iron Sleek Refrigerated Rinks—independent companies under the same ownership—I help businesses, municipalities, and high-end homeowners get exactly what they need, fast and at the best price. My leadership in sales growth has been instrumental in helping Iron Sleek double in size, driven by my ability to connect with customers, understand their challenges, and provide solutions that work. At the end of the day, my job is to make my customers look good, make their work easier, and deliver on my promises. That’s how I build real relationships—ones where people know they have a partner, not just a vendor.
