Phi Delta Theta FraternityWhat’s been happening: To those within the turbo-machinery industry, you'll know that I've become the charismatic President and Chief Executive Officer of HPI, one of the leading providers of custom-engineered turbine solutions and services. But those who have had the opportunity to do business with me know I am a thorough, strategic and unrelenting businessman who is unafraid to do what's necessary to get the job done. An engineer by training, and an entrepreneur by DNA, I've formed HPI in 2002, after recognizing a need for a new business model offering aftermarket turbine care solutions. Nearly 15 years later, I've propelled the company forward, not only to be a leader in turbine instrumentation and controls and mechanical field services, but to also become a trusted designer and builder of turnkey power plants to a fair number of emerging nations around the world. Under my leadership, HPI has consistently ranked among the Houston Chronicle's list of Top 100 Private Companies since 2011. The company is also a four-time recipient of the Houston Business Journal's Fast Tech 50 Award, and continues to rank among the leaders of Inc. Magazine's Top 500 Companies. Additional recognition of business acumen came in 2014 and 2010, when I was named a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. |
