My job is to keep things running cool—literally and figuratively.
As Managing Director at Ziehl-Abegg US, I’ve spent my career making sure operations stay smooth, systems stay efficient, and our teams stay energized. From leading the construction of our new, state-of-the-art manufacturing and R&D facility in Winston-Salem to scaling up production of high-efficiency fans, I’m proud to be part of an industry that quietly (and coolly) supports modern life.
My “cool skills”? Staying calm under pressure, building strong, high-performing teams, and solving problems that others might freeze up over. I thrive in that space where engineering precision meets operational flow—and nothing beats seeing innovative solutions take shape from the shop floor to the customer.
World Refrigeration Day is a chance to turn the spotlight on the people and technologies that keep our world comfortable, connected, and climate-conscious. I’m honored to be part of an industry that’s not only cool—but essential.
