𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲. That’s not just a tagline — it’s my operating system. I’ve spent 25+ years in U.S. manufacturing — rising from the shop floor to executive roles, building teams, systems, and businesses along the way. Today, I steward 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽, a platform focused on building a U.S. digitally enabled end-to-end precision machining value chain. Through 𝗧𝗤 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, our flagship operating company, we deliver tight-tolerance machined parts including castings and forgings for leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers who demand consistency, speed, and post-process capability. Our intent: simplify sourcing, strengthen American supply chains, and build long-term partnerships. 🧭 𝗠𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Advance U.S. manufacturing through expertise, leadership, and purpose. 🛠 𝗠𝘆 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: A revitalized U.S. industrial base powered by strong leaders and smart systems. I’ve earned a BSME, MSIE, and MBA — but my true education came through the school of hard knocks: learning by failure, leading under pressure, and grinding through uncertainty. Before all that, I hit rock bottom as a youth — addiction, incarceration, and a broken path. But in that valley, I found redemption. Jesus Christ saved my life and reshaped my mission. Today, I lead with grit, grace, and faith. Jeremiah 29:13 • Joshua 24:15 I’m a lean operator, systems builder, and culture-first leader. I play to win — but with purpose. I believe the future of American manufacturing depends on clarity, execution, and values — both at work and at home. Cornerstone isn’t just a business. It’s a calling. We exist to build people-first teams, deliver customer-aligned solutions, and help restore trust and momentum in U.S. manufacturing. “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙.” Let’s build something that lasts. Empty the tank.
