I have been in charge of manufacturing plants or companies since 1982 with full P&L control. My experience includes multi-plant management, product launches, satellite operations, business development, union negotiations, plant consolidations, green field start ups, as well as bank, public audit firm and wall street analyst working relationships. I have been a CEO of a public company since 1997. My product knowledge includes automotive, metal forming and stamping, electronics, plastics, printing, apparel and a wide range of material bases. I consider myself \'process\' oriented as opposed to \'product\' focused\', which has enabled me the chance to manage very diverse manufacturing and supply chain entity's. I have been involved in over 37 acquisitions in the last 18 years, including negotiations, integration, and financing when necessary. Specialties include cost systems, company turn around and acquisitions. The integration of new acquired companies is a bigger consideration today than ten years ago. We spend time being sure the cultures of the two companies are a reasonable fit. Board Experience: I have been a Board Member at Ennis (NYSE) since 1997. I have been Chairman since 1998. Not many Board issues I have not experienced in the that time period with the extensive acquisitions, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, working with audit firms, banks, and Wall Street analysts as both a Board Member and CEO. Also served on the industry PSDA Board for four years. I have concentrated my time on Ennis Inc. and have avoided additional Board opportunities in the past. Going forward I may consider other Board seats as my time demands are more predictable at Ennis Inc.
