I have worked with Richard for a number of years. He demonstrates very deep knowledge in Lean Six Sigma and is one of those rare individuals who has skills in both the technical and management/human aspects of Lean Six Sigma implementations. His advice to me on how to make Lean Six Sigma work in everyday management has been invaluable.

Rich’s knowledge of Lean Six Sigma is second to none. His ability to synthesize complex issues and reduce them to targeted, actionable strategies is a wonderful skill. Rich is a mentor who can give sound, solid advice and recommendations after receiving only bits of information. As a Master Black Belt, he has the technical strength to tangle with PhD level statisticians, yet reduce findings that can be communicated to front line production staff. This rare and wonderful skill makes him a rare find in any industry. I can recommend Rich without hesitation.

Our students love this LSS concept and have found it very useful in their organizations. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds which include church leadership, pastors, healthcare, non-profit leadership, for-profit leadership. Students frequently comment how they can learn the concept today and implement it tomorrow. Rich has added value to our Master of Organizational Leadership program, and I know the LSS concept will add value to many more people’s lives.
