Director of Business Development @ Grey Solutions

I was born and raised in a small town in eastern Kentucky called Paintsville. After high school, I went to the University of Kentucky to continue my golfing career while majoring in Management and Marketing. After college, I earned my LPGA Symetra Tour card and played for a year. While in school, my mom was just starting an advanced manufacturing school, eKAMI, to re-train displaced coal miners back into the workforce. It was during this time that I learned about all things automation - CNC machining, robotics, AMRs/AGVs -and discovered my passion for the manufacturing industry. I knew after my golfing career, I wanted to get into manufacturing, help solve the labor shortage, and give workers more meaningful work through automation and robotics. This has lead me to where I am today with Gray Solutions. We are headquartered in Lexington, KY, and are serving food and beverage manufactures all across the globe.
