I love helping others discover interesting solutions to the facility challenges they face. It's even more fulfilling to help them identify and rectify hidden building inefficiencies. Take a look at the mechanical key as an example; it was invented thousands of years ago with only small tech improvements in the last few decades So why does almost every building still use outdated technology? The answer is probably because they don’t know any better. Here at SALTO, we help solve the problem of managing mechanical keys and delivering exceptional access control. My enthusiasm is on full display when working through these challenges, whether on a phone call, hosting a webinar, or leading a meeting, I'm excited! Outside of work, I'm a dedicated father, husband and enjoy discovering all that Minnesota has to offer.
