Originally from San Antonio, Texas; I grew up an Army "Brat" and lived throughout the Southeast United States. I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Aviation Management and earned my MBA from Kennesaw State University. I started my professional career with IBM and spent over 15 years in their supply chain operations. I joined The Coca-Cola Company in 2011 and have held leadership roles in supply chain operations, strategic initiative implementations, master data operations and data governance. In my current role, I act as a primary link to Product master data related industry initiatives with a focus on GS1. I currently live in the Atlanta area with my wife Kelly, our two teenaged children Xamina and Xander and three crazy dogs.
