Overview

Entrepreneur with 25+ years in manufacturing and founder of resistancewire.com. After scaling a successful heating element business, I’m now launching the ChopValue Heartlands microfactory in Fort Wayne, IN. This small-scale facility supports a local circular economy by collecting, sanitizing, and pressing used chopsticks into sustainable furniture, home goods, and architectural panels. Backed by solid funding and strategy, I’m excited to grow this innovative venture throughout the Midwest.
