I lead maintenance reliability programs that improve uptime and reduce equipment losses.

At Behrens Manufacturing, I direct maintenance and reliability programs that improve equipment uptime, reduce unplanned downtime, and support long-range operational goals. I lead preventative, condition-based, and reliability-centered maintenance strategies while optimizing CMMS data, MTTR/MTBF, and asset performance.

I've progressed from production roles to leading multidisciplinary maintenance teams, budgets up to $2M, facility systems, automation troubleshooting, and capital-project design reviews. I bring hands-on capability in mechatronics, industrial controls, PLC/HMI troubleshooting, hydraulics, pneumatics, motors, drives, and 3D modeling.
