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.

Sharing 35-years of experience and insights gained from running the New York office of a boutique family business while directly reporting to the Founder/Owner. This included working closely with executives at all levels (CEOs, Presidents, CMOs, etc.) at start-ups and small businesses in the U.S. and globally. Specifically, I can materially address how to effectively promote (public relations), market (marketing) a fledgling or established business along with new business development & acquisition strategies.

I have a passion for helping new startups just getting going as well as established companies looking to change directions. I can help you spark creative ideas and develop an attack plan to get a business off the ground or turn the ship towards better opportunities. I encourage out-of-the-box thinking while always being practical at what's possible to accomplish.

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.
