I have had a very successful and rewarding 40 year career in the cheese industry. I am passionate about this industry, it is our heritage here and it has been so good to me and my family. Most recently I successfully led a 3 plant, 300 employee operation here in the Monroe, Wisconsin area. Yes, I have been at it for 40 years but, I'm not ready to retire yet. I was "restructured" from my position just recently. At this point, I do not want to relocate from the area and I realize it would be tough to land a similar sized job locally and it's corresponding compensation. I would love to find a position where I could work on coming up with process improvements and growth projects while still being involved in working with operations for continued success. Small to medium sized cheese operations would be the best fit for me I believe. I want to continue to be a driver of operational improvements. I would be happy to provide references that can vouch for my skillset and abilities.
