How I can help you
I can help clients in the initial phases of their decision to start a business and also in their decision-making process once the business has begun.
I have extensive expeience in operations, distribution, sales, marketing and business orgainization. and am extremely aware of the risks, stresses and hard decisions involved in entrepreneurship.
My ability to help clients comes from a 35 year career in industry that included nearly every form of business activity and 4 years as a military (USAF) officer. The highly varied jobs I held over my professional career can help clients see every aspect of their business from many different perspectives that will help them make informed (and profitable) decisions.
In two cases in my professional career I had the opportunity to run businesses that closely mirror what our small business clients are faced with as independent owners. In one case I was tasked with managing an independent profit center in Kansas City which included operations, sales and administartion; and in another case, I became a minority owner of a company and was tasked with all sales and marketing functions in order to grow the business and achieve profitability.

How I can help you
I can help your startup or established small business with Strategy, Operations, Marketing and Supply Chain. I have experience as a small business owner and CEO so I am intimately familiar with the challenges of starting and operating a business.
My career includes experience in industrial materials distribution, B2B wholesale (textiles and professional cleaning products), real estate, renewables and venture capital. I have been worked for small businesses but have also faced them "across the table" in my venture capital role, so I believe I have a wide perspective and an ability to really understand their problems and priorities but also to provide an external viewpoint that will improve your understanding of how your business is perceived..
