How I Can Help You

Dynamic Small to Mid-Sized Business Consultant | Coach | Mentor with substantial SCORE mentoring experience in a variety of vertical markets and over 40 years experience in the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) Specialty Construction and Consumer and Business Services Markets, focusing on small to mid-sized companies seeking transformational business strategies to drive enterprise-wide improvements in growth, profitability, and innovation.

With a background as a Transformational Business Strategist, I specialize in non-traditional strategic planning, lean thinking, and team development to achieve significant growth in revenue, market share, and profitability. My expertise lies in guiding underperforming businesses to achieve exceptional results by building high-performing teams focused on operational and financial metrics while enhancing quality, safety, and customer relations.

As an Entrepreneurial Visionary that focuses on entrepreneurs who are looking to start or grow a small business, I leverage pragmatism, adaptability, creativity, and integrity to implement effective solutions that drive operational excellence, improve shareholder value, and facilitate year-over-year growth. My experience as a Champion of Change ensures continuous process improvement and operational efficiencies, resulting in lower costs, higher efficiency, and significantly increased profitability.

My cross-functional background spans operations, sales, marketing, engineering, construction, and business services in a variety of vertical markets. This allows me to integrate diverse perspectives into every decision. I have extensive expertise in helping small companies evaluate new or existing business opportunities in various commercial markets, general contracting, residential/commercial mechanical/electrical construction, and B-to-B/B-to-C services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical). My areas of interest include leadership, marketing, administration, and facilitation, with subject matter expertise in business planning, budgeting, strategic planning, project management, leadership, and lean analysis.

Industry experience covers sectors such as construction, architecture, engineering, facility services, manufacturing, utilities, B to B and B to C service businesses. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management with a minor in Marketing, and specialized training in Mechanical/Industrial Engineering and Leadership in Business.
Mentoring is available through email, phone, video, or in person for clients in need of guidance in accounting, finance, business planning, customer service, franchising, management, operations, and strategy development.
