After 14 years with Koch Industries, my time with the company has sadly come to an end. For business reasons beyond the company's control, my role has been eliminated. However, I am leaving on the best of terms and would love to share my experiences at Koch and INVISTA with you. I'm looking for a new opportunity in the Wichita, Kansas area.
