We have a team of 15 located in 4 states and 3 countries around the globe. We are going through some internal organizational changes that I am playing a key role in helping to restructure the company in order to pursue growth opportunities. Specifics include; leading the redevelopment of our sales initiatives, launching a new version of our website, created a new software application aimed our our industry, creation of a new mobile site and a Machinetools App, among other projects.

Before I was hired, I was actually working with the CEO/President of the company as a consultant when he decided to make an offer I couldn't refuse and I joined Machinetools full time. While the company is based in West Bloomfield Michigan. We decided that with everything that Ann Arbor has to offer, we should open an Ann Arbor Satellite office, which is where I now work.
