Business leadership is where I’ve landed for most of my adult life. I’ve been involved in the telecom and broadcast industry for nearly 40 years. At Integrated Plastics, it is our vision to improve people’s lives through the expansion of fiber technology. I know first hand that fiber optic cable is critical for personal and professional development into the next generation. It is our vision to be a bridge builder from what is today to what can be tomorrow through the expansion of fiber. Integrated Plastics vaults (hand holes) are significant in the connectivity experience.

Born and raised in West Michigan, I enjoy the beauty of Michigan, traveling, the great out-of-doors - golf, flying, friends and family. Family is incredibly important to us. My wife, DeLinda and I have 7 children and enjoy 7 fun and active grandchildren. Our faith is also a valued component of our lives. Eucharisteo to you this day!

I was born and raised in West Michigan. From an early age, I had desire to make things and to understand how things work. I believe that I got this from my father who was a pattern maker by trade and also owned a machine shop. I am a journeyman mold maker and have spent my whole career in manufacturing including tooling, plastics, composites and metal forming. I still live in West Michigan with my wife. In my free time, I enjoy biking, boating and staying active in my church.

I have been involved in the IP journey since the beginning. It’s an absolute blessing to work closely with friends to bring new solutions to the infrastructure market and am looking forward to the products we have planned for the future.
