Less than 10% of new businesses survive past the first year. SCORE’s mission is to help you beat the odds by helping you launch a business built to succeed in today's dynamic business environment. 

As a business mentor I am here to listen, ask questions about the vision of your business, help you organize your thoughts, give guidance and encouragement that will help you fulfill your business dreams every step of the way.

My background is in accounting and finance, and I started my own fractional CFO firm this year. I am dedicated to providing clear direction, focused goals, and observable results to small business owners. I guide them in building profitable businesses, increasing their revenue and profit, and maintaining consistent positive cash flow. My primary focus is on ensuring the continued success of my clients and their businesses!

I'm a manager at a diversified financial services & consulting company.

I can help entrepreneurs, creators, crafters, skilled trades, mom n' pops, main street shops and early-stage local small businesses refine their vision, plan next steps, set attainable goals that create momentum, and implement realistic strategies, particularly if they are bootstrapping with limited time, resources, experience and support.

I can help you with addressing challenges in your business in the areas of accounting, financial planning and management, budgeting, strategic planning, and sales techniques. I have served as a Naval officer, a school teacher, coach, business manager, realtor, budget analyst, college administrator and professor. My broad work experience has provided me with expertise in a variety of fields. Additionally, I have decades of experience in mentoring people who have high aspirations. I will listen carefully to your ideas and endeavor to provide you with my best suggestions.

I can help clients with business structure, accounting, cash flow, financial literacy, social media for either 'for profit' or 'non profit'
