How did you first get into your profession?
I earned a degree in Interior Architecture from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and invested a lot of time creating workspace for technology companies in Chicago. When the dot com bubble burst I used my CAD skills as an entry point to become a metal engineer in the events/exhibit industry. As I gained experience I moved into production and operations management role that set the stage for my joining Dimension Design.
What business advice would you give someone just starting in your industry?
Fill the gap between yourself and the person in front of you. So, when there is an opportunity to move up you already have the skills and perform at the required level.
If you could be any fictional character, who would you be and why?
Winston Wolfe, “The Wolf” in the movie Pulp Fiction. He is someone who takes charge of a situation.
