Supply Chain Operator · Roanoke, VA

I build the networks, systems, and cost models that move goods at scale.

Thirteen years of supply chain operations — strategic sourcing, 3PL networks, ERP deployments, eCommerce fulfillment — grounded in five years working alongside a live manufacturing line. Now named model lead and architect of the pickup-and-delivery package-level cost model for FedEx Network 2.0.

About

I'm a supply chain leader who has spent thirteen years on the systems side of physical goods — including five years embedded on-site with a live production line, sourcing complex custom-engineered components and walking the floor where they landed. I've selected and deployed ERPs, stood up 3PL networks, run eCommerce fulfillment across Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart, and built the procurement and costing analytics that keep operations honest.

Currently at FedEx, I'm the named model lead and architect of the package-level cost model for Network 2.0's U.S. & Canada pickup-and-delivery (P&D) network, built from scratch to unify cost logic that two separate legacy networks previously carried. I designed its machine-learning suite, championed it through corporate stage-gate to funded approval, and built the agentic-AI workflows that cut analytical build time from days to hours.

B.S.B.A. in Supply Chain Management from Appalachian State University, where I was named 2013 Best Student in Supply Chain. International business experience across China, Hong Kong, England, Belgium, and Canada.

Off the clock: I thru-hiked all 2,192 miles of the Appalachian Trail, Georgia to Maine. It turns out walking a continuous supply line for 6.5 months teaches you a lot about logistics, resupply, and finishing what you start. Mile 2,192 · Katahdin summit, Baxter State Park, Maine
