Blessed to have found my life calling as a mentor both as a football coach and in the packaging industry. I am currently the Program Coordinator and Senior Instructor for the Packaging Engineering Technology program at Indiana State University. My journey in the packaging industry includes roles as a corrugated structural designer, quality technician, continuous improvement manager, and consultant. I am creating this Open Educational Resource because I strongly believe that knowledge should be accessible to all, and that individuals should be able to certify their knowledge without a paywall. Our industry needs more people interested in packaging, and companies can rest assured that the Packaging Mentors will be doing everything we can to attract, educate, and retain talent by offering credentials at no cost.
