Dynamic Senior Support Specialist at Eaton Corporation with a proven track record in enhancing customer satisfaction through effective problem-solving and proactive issue resolution. Skilled in client relationship building and quality assurance, I successfully implemented training programs and improved documentation processes, driving operational efficiency and fostering team collaboration. I’ve been playing hockey for 40 years and I am currently playing twice a week. My coaching began as an assistant coach in the PAL house league in Haupauge, NY for 6 years, from 2000-2006. I am currently coaching in my 6th season (3rd year) for the PHHL in the North Division out of the Factory in Wake Forest.

I have also been one of the volunteers for the skater clinics held by PHHL in 2023. During the summer of 2023 and 2024, I helped run the 10U and 12U pickup games for Polar ice in Wake Forest. In the summer of 2024, I put together a weekly, private pickup game, with balanced lines and coaches. It was a great way to keep the players engaged and offer some instruction. Currently, I am hosting a skills clinic once a week in Wake Forest. With my private events, I already have over 100 clients from the Rolesville and Wake Forest area skating at my events. I will be hosting these skates throughout this summer.
