About Jake Kortz

I am a highly effective leader with 25 plus years’ experience in manufacturing. Which emphasizes innovation and creativity. I am energetic and focused on successfully developing and leading diverse teams to achieve expected results. I am a veteran of the U.S. Navy where I started my career in manufacturing as a machinist. After learning my trade, I left the Navy and have diligently worked at honing and developing my skills in manufacturing and business acumen. I am determined to establish the best methods possible in achieving the results needed to be successful, not only in my professional life but also in my personal one. I am naturally skilled at seeing the “big picture”, while not losing sight and understanding of how important the small details are for building a successful team.
