With more than 40 years business experience, 20 in Project Management, and 10 in Marketing and Branding, I'm excited to assist other entrepreneurs launch a successful business.

I have a lot of experience in working with small business owners and have intimate experience in several different industries and professions.

25 years of experience in hospitality and live music venue start-ups across the U.S. and S.E. Asia. Have mentored ex-staffers in the areas of capital sourcing, business plans, company structure, branding, marketing, operations, public relations and hiring practices, many of whom have gone on to become industry leaders.

As the Chief Executive Officer of Valor Strategic Solutions, a Veteran-owned, small business consulting firm, I leverage my entrepreneurial skills, military experience, and passion for social change to empower small businesses to overcome challenges and achieve sustainable success. With over three years of experience as a professional photographer, I have a unique perspective on how to craft compelling stories, and engage audiences.

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

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.
