I am originally from Northern Maine and grew up in a rural French Acadian community and eventually graduated from the University of Maine at Machias with a BS degree in Accounting. I have been with Georgia Pacific for 24 years and started my career with them at a Pulp and Paper facility located near the "Downeast" coast of Maine holding various accounting and analytical roles prior to moving to Brunswick GA in 1998. While in Brunswick, I became their Mill Controller and then later became the Koch Cellulose Business Controller when Koch purchased the Pulp business in 2004. In 2006, when Koch purchased the rest of GP I moved to Atlanta and held various roles in Manufacturing analytics and supported the Containerboard/Cellulose Division as their Manufacturing Controller. Today and since 2010, I currently oversee the Sourcing Finance capability as the VP of Finance and continue to act as a Manufacturing analytical "consultant" role supporting GP Operations. On the personal side, I am married to my college sweetheart and we have two adult children, a grandson, two dogs and a cat who keep us both active and busy. I also enjoy exercising and running in my spare time and have completed 1/2 marathons and a full marathon over the years.
