View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
I first joined the company in 1999 when Ferguson acquired my family’s business, Midwest Pipe and Supply. I’ve had the chance to work in almost every facet of the business over the last 25+ years, and I was honored to be named CEO of Ferguson plc in 2019. My journey through Ferguson included a variety of roles including general manager of Ferguson's Waterworks business in Ohio and area manager for the Northeast Waterworks region. In 2005, I became business group manager for Waterworks and later became a Ferguson vice president. In 2007, I took on the role of COO of Ferguson Enterprises and was then named CEO in 2017. I am originally from Columbus, Ohio, and graduated from Miami University of Ohio in 1992.
