I graduated from the University of Maryland in 1986 with degrees in both marketing and international business. I immediately joined Ben Clements and Sons, Inc. / Clements Industries, Inc. where I had been interning during school vacations. After a long period of domestic sales and marketing, I frequently traveled to Europe and the Far East to visit our international offices and to meet directly with both our international customers and suppliers to help form a cohesive world wide network.

Due to my domestic and international experience, I became aware of industry needs and have developed new packaging equipment, some of which have patents and patent pending bearing my name.

I am currently the Vice President of Ben Clements and Sons, Inc. / Clements Industries, Inc. where my various responsibilities include both domestic and international sales and marketing, as well as new product development and evaluation.
