Jim brings over four decades of manufacturing experience, from engineering and plant management to global safety leadership. He reflects on the lessons learned through mergers, mentorship, and machines rolling out the door, all while sharing practical advice for students, job seekers, and early-career professionals.
We explore what it takes to lead with integrity, how manufacturing has evolved, and why Jim still believes it's one of the most rewarding career paths out there. Whether you’re just starting out or considering a pivot into industry, Jim’s story is a masterclass in resilience, teamwork, and growth over time.
