Previous position: Vice president of services at CCB Technology
What’s kept you at Racine-based CCB for 15 years?
“For me, it has been the people that I get to work with every day. To work with people who have passion and strive for excellence (all while having fun) is something that is very rare.”
What does your new role as president entail?
“I oversee and lead on all of the day-to-day operations. This mainly includes working with the department heads on sales, marketing, technical services, operations, etc.”
What’s a challenge you’ve had to overcome to advance in your career?
“I came into an industry (technology) that I knew very little about. So, a major part of my career that I had to overcome fairly quickly was learning the ins and outs of this industry.”
What’s one personal and one professional goal you have for 2023?
“From a professional side I would love to see us continue to grow on the managed services side of our business. We have consistently grown by double digits each year for the past number of years and would like to keep that momentum going. From a personal side I would love to travel outside of the U.S. again with my family – something we have not done since before COVID-19.”
What does life outside of work look like for you?
“I have a beautiful wife and four young children. So, the season of life we are in right now is focused on pouring into and training them. We are also very involved in our local church.”
