Experienced business leader in the professional services industry who started my own firm in 1996, grew it steadily over twenty years into a very successful regional firm. I have also undergone the sale of my business, and the acquistion of mulitple businesses and understand the challenges and opportunties associated with each. My understanding of the unique challenges of taking a great idea and turning into a successful business, coupled with the experience garnered of transforming that initial startup into a growing and profitable enterprise allow me to share insights and thoughts with fellow entrepeneurs. I also happen to be the reciepient of SCORE mentoring earlier in my career and understand how the thoughts and issues raised by professionals willing to lend their insights can challenge assumptions, reinforce instincts, and help craft a clearer vision of priorities.
