extensive business experience

Coaching Listening and encouraging them to make good decisions by leading them to the appropriate solutions. Supporting them through communication and dealings with other connected to their business.

I've created 5 profitable businesses in multiple sectors and have made my share of mistakes along the way. I can help you understand the risks of being a small business owner, identify them and find a path forward. I excel at understanding and solving problems. Starting a business is more than opening your doors. You need to consider imaging, staffing, cashflow, your role in the community, competition, market and more. Clear feedback and support.

Media and Production

I spent 6 years working as a venture capitalist at Adams Street Partners where I was focused on funding early-stage startups. After that I spent 4 years starting, operating, and selling my own business (stayoffmap.com). I'm excited to help anyone with questions about business plans, fundraising, product development, digital marketing, or any other areas of the startup process!

I'm great with creating strong structors, powerful action plans, obtainable goal setting and empowering staff. My expertise is hospitality, been in the restaurant, bar and nightclub business for over 40 years.

Throughout my career, I have worked to transform dreams into functioning businesses. I hope to help SCORE clients make their dreams come alive. While some adjustments may be needed, I have found that nearly every dream can be transformed into a viable enterprise.

As a life long entrepreneur, I've not only started many new businesses and launched new products, but I have helped dozens of people write business plans and/or determine the viability of a new business/product.
