As an entrepreneur, I have experienced the highs and lows of owning my own business and I understand the stress, financial commitment, and dedication it takes to do this. I fumbled through the early stages alone and hope to prevent others from making the same mistakes. I am comfortable with helping all phases of a small business but I particularly enjoy developing a frictionless e-commerce site, marketing, logistics, product development, retail product placement, and media relations (including an appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank). Currently, I am the CIO for TidalHealth, a 2 hospital health system, and have developed expertise in technology, cybersecurity, and managing a staff of 150 outstanding people. I seek to develop long-term relationships and add value to those brave enough to take the journey of small business ownership.
