My name is Jason Miller and I am the Plant Manager at ICL-Lawrence.  I have been with ICL for 17 years and worked in a variety of engineering and managerial roles throughout my career.  I grew up on a cattle farm in Valley Falls, KS, and attended the University of Kansas, receiving a B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 2005.  I have a wife and three kids that keep me busy outside of work.  I have a very strong passion for traveling and spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, boating, etc. with my family.  ICL has been a great place to start and grow my career and offers excellent opportunities in a wide variety of fields.  The Lawrence Plant is very family-oriented and while we certainly work hard, we also like to enjoy spending time together through a variety of fun, family-oriented activities that we do throughout the year.   

I am the Engineering Manager at ICL-Lawrence with 25+ years of experience in multiple leadership, engineering, manufacturing, energy, innovation, and improvement roles.  Since starting at the Lawrence plant in 2006, it has consistently been a wonderful place to work, providing me the personal and professional growth and balance I desire.  I grew up in Lincoln, NE and attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, receiving my B.S. in Chemical Engineering in 1993.  Once in Lawrence, I attended the University of Kansas, where I received my MBA in 2003.  Personally, I have a passion for mentoring and coaching youth, along with strong interests in community health, wellness, recreation, performing arts, and STEM initiatives.  There are many facets of the Lawrence plant I truly appreciate, but the people, work-life balance, and the opportunity to use my talents every day is what makes it stand out to me.  This pairs well with the helping and caring spirit of the Lawrence community that my family (wife and three boys) and I have always valued.

Hello, I am Travis Graham, Process Controls Manager for the ICL Lawrence manufacturing plant.  I started my career with ICL in 2006 as a Process Controls Engineer here in the Lawrence plant.  In 2013, I relocated to St. Louis, Missouri and worked 8 years in the ICL Carondelet plant in several different roles including engineering, operations management, and maintenance management.  Early in 2021, I relocated back to Lawrence and am happy and excited to be here.  Outside of work I have 3 teenage kids that keep my wife and I very busy with their activities.  I enjoy spending time outdoors, music, and photography.  Working for ICL has been a great fit as it offers a very dynamic and challenging environment where everyone comes together to find solutions to keep the plant progressing.  It has also provided a very good work/life balance that I don’t see at other companies.
