Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and is a former Chairman of the Plant Engineering and Maintenance Division
of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Outside of work Sam enjoys spending time with his family – wife Donna (Accountant) and sons Sean (Mechanical Engineer) and Trenton (Aerospace Engineer.) They especially like spending time on Smith
Lake in Alabama, trout fishing on the White River in Arkansas, and snow skiing in Montana. Sam and his
wife will be relocating to the Butte area over the coming months.
