Founder @ The Logistics Guys

About

I've been in logistics since 2004, over 22 years of building operations, solving problems, and figuring out how to move things smarter, faster, and more efficiently. I founded The Logistics Guys with one client and one project, and grew it into an $18M+ operation managing 4,500+ shipments a year across DTC, retail, and construction channels. I also started Blueprint Installations to extend our capabilities from logistics all the way through final product placement for clients in the health & wellness space.My day-to-day has always been rooted in the full supply chain lifecycle: demand and supply planning, S&OP alignment, procurement, inventory strategy, vendor management, and making sure things arrive on time and in full. I've built and managed a vetted network of 15,000+ vendors, negotiated contracts, driven cost savings, and developed supplier diversification strategies to keep our clients protected when things get unpredictable.A big part of my career has focused on the health & wellness industries, handling everything from nutraceutical supplements and wellness products to human performance enhancing equipment and temperature-sensitive goods.What sets me apart is that I'm not just a strategist, I'm hands-on. I've managed full P&L responsibility, built and coached high-performing teams, worked cross-functionally with sales, manufacturing, and finance partners, and implemented technology solutions (TMS, CRM, ERP, AI tools) to make better decisions with real data. For those who know me, they'll tell you one thing: I'm always here to help. Whether it's solving a complex logistics problem or finding a better way to run an operation, I believe in creating real value for the people who count on us.Core competencies: End-to-End Supply Chain Strategy | S&OP / Demand & Supply Planning | Procurement & Contract Negotiation | Mission Critical | OTIF Performance | Inventory Optimization | Supplier Diversification & Risk Mitigation | 3PL & Vendor Management | Cost Reduction & Margin Improvement | Team Building & Leadership | Budget & P&L Management
