About
I spend my days figuring out how things get from where they are made to where they are needed: rail, truck and the occasional lake freighter. I came to logistics sideways, through an SFS degree and a first job translating customs paperwork, and I still think the most interesting part of trade is the people who keep it moving. I have interviewed Georgetown applicants in northwest Pennsylvania since 2008, roughly 120 conversations so far. I like students who are curious about their own town, and I always leave time for their questions.
