With over 49 years in the fastener industry and 31 years as owner of All American Systems, I enjoy the challenges of learning about new products, working with customers and nurturing long-standing relationships. Having a good team to help develop sales for the companies we represent is rewarding, and I appreciate our supplier partners who make all of this possible. Sales may be the objective, but helping others is what motivates me.

 With over 30 years of experience in the fastener industry, I specialize in connecting customers with the right solutions quickly and effectively. I began my career at Wurth/Service Supply, where I gained a strong foundation working with a major distributor and developed a broad understanding of fastener products and applications.
I later expanded my expertise at Eskay Screw, where I gained hands-on experience in manufacturing and developed in-depth knowledge of the cold heading process. This strengthened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of what it takes to produce high-quality components that meet customer expectations.
Since joining All American Systems in 2005, I’ve combined my experience in both distribution and manufacturing to better serve customers. By understanding needs from every angle, I’m able to provide informed guidance and deliver reliable solutions that support long-term success.

 With 35 years in the fastener industry and a Sales and Marketing degree from Northern Illinois University, I bring deep manufacturing expertise in material specifications, tooling, cold heading, production scheduling, and costing. This technical foundation enables me to align manufacturer capabilities with distributor requirements effectively and efficiently.
My leadership experience at AllStar Fasteners and over two decades with All American Systems has reinforced a commitment to precise communication, disciplined problem‑solving, and hands‑on application work. I prioritize responsiveness, professionalism, and long‑term partnerships to drive reliable, high‑quality product solutions.

I have been active in the industrial manufacturing sector since 2007, beginning my career in fastener and MRO distribution before transitioning to my current role as a manufacturers’ representative in 2011. My early experience with a large national distributor provided exposure to a broad range of industrial product categories, which has been instrumental in supporting the diverse demands of representing multiple product lines today. Throughout my career, several core principles have remained constant: maintaining open and timely communication, consistently following through on commitments, and taking a hands-on, face-to-face approach. These values have enabled me to achieve strong results while building lasting partnerships and meaningful professional relationships.

I bring over a decade of experience in the fastener industry to All American Systems. In my previous role at Bisco Industries, a national distributor of hardware and electrical components, I worked with both OEM and distributor accounts to create long term supply chain solutions, from sourcing custom hardware to leveraging our suppliers for long term blanket orders. Working closely with a wide array of customers has taught me one universal truth: attentiveness and honest, open communication are the two most important facets of building a strong relationship. I look forward to bringing this experience to All American Systems, and helping forge new relationships between our customers and our supply partners.
