I am a lifelong resident of Louisville, Kentucky and attended Male High School. I graduated from Wittenberg University with a Political Science degree and then started my career at Kraft Foods. In 1989, I joined Papercone Corporation as a Sales Representative and have grown with the company into the position of Executive Vice President.
I am a member of the Envelope Manufacturers Association (EMA), immediate past Chairman of the EMA Foundation Board of Directors, former Chairman of the Membership/Development Committee, and was awarded the Daniel H. Lipman Member of the Year Award in 2005.
In Louisville, I am a long-time Board member at the Pendennis Club, the 2003-2005 Club President, the immediate past President of the Club, and am on their Foundation Board. I am a member of the Salvation Army Board of Directors and served a three-year term as Board chairman. I currently serve on the Steering Committee for 21st Century Parks, and am Board Chairman of the Kentucky Derby Museum.
My best decision was marrying my wife, Kristen. We have two sons, a daughter, and reside in Anchorage, KY. Outside of work, I am an avid golfer and volunteer as a Panelist for Golf Digest. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, boating, music and travel.
