Yet , in the midst of the chaos , I managed to accomplish a few significant milestones . I married my amazing wife , Lisa — just celebrating our 29th — raised two wonderful children , Ashley and Dylan , and became an all-season outdoor enthusiast .
After a decade-long sabbatical , where I focused on becoming a world-class dad , husband , overcoming my addictions and rebuilding my life , I returned to find my efforts had been fruitful . I transformed my physical and emotional health , rebuilt relationships , and reinvented my aerospace manufacturing company . I also published my first book , “ Your Life Is Not Your Fault ... Until It Is ,” and built an AI software platform for creating content .
Today , I am an author , investor and mentor , eager to help our extended MFG family reinvent their businesses . My last decade has been a journey of personal development , an exploration into the human experience , and the elevation of the human condition . I used Deming ’ s continuous improvement model , “ Kaizen ,” as the cornerstone of my approach to thrive in all aspects of life .
I invite my fellow MFG supply chain experts to view life through my lens , to experience my journey and the lessons learned , through the MFG Masters program . My mission is to help you win across all aspects of your life . This requires the right tools , the right mentors , a clear vision , and an emotional connection to your mission .
Our life ’ s journey will be challenging , but the rewards are immense . Let ’ s embark on this journey together by joining the I LUV MFG movement . It ’ s time to rewrite your story , step into your potential , and become the Masters of MFG you were born to be .
As MFG experts , what we do matters ! Who you are matters ! Your next step matters ! Choose wisely .
