Bio/Profile

After a long career in truck transportation, I semi-retired in 2020 from Ruan Transportation where I served as VP of Fleet Services. Upon retirement, I opened a consulting service called Asset and Maintenance Insights (AMI). Through AMI, I work with fleets and suppliers to fleets to help lower operating costs and improve vehicle uptime. 

In semi-retirement, I enjoy travelling and woodworking.
