Tissue Machine Process Engineering Consulting

Technical Background

I bring 30+ years of process engineering experience at Kimberly-Clark, focused on improving tissue machine performance, stability, and operational efficiency in complex manufacturing environments.My work spans North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, supporting mills through machine optimization, troubleshooting, and variability reduction. I specialize in diagnosing and resolving runnability and stability issues across forming, pressing and drying, with an emphasis on sustainable performance improvement rather than short-term fixes.I have led Tissue 101 instruction in the U.S. and internationally, and have extensive experience mentoring engineers and training operators to strengthen both foundational understanding and advanced process capability.I focus on identifying and resolving performance constraints under real production conditions, working in close collaboration with mill and OEM technical teams to deliver measurable, durable improvements.
