My career has been spent working in banking and fintech with a focus on business lending. I’ve worked for the Small Business Administration (SBA) and have enjoyed working with small businesses owners and entrepreneurs looking to start or grow their businesses. I look forward to working with clients to evaluate business ideas, identify strategic and tactical plans to develop them, and provide guidance and assistance in navigating the many resources SCORE has to offer to grow and support businesses in our community.

I have been in ecommerce for over 15 years, and have helped over 150 companies (including my own) scale from 6 figures to 8 figures. While I am known for my ecommerce marketing skills, I have developed a well-rounded knowledge base in every aspect of business - branding, marketing, advertising, SEO, team building, systems and processes, outsourcing, budgeting, product development, and product sourcing.

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. 

My work experience has been broad and extends from front line developer to VP C-level, including technical product management, product marketing, strategic and tactical planning, startup business development, startup fundraising, executive and team leadership, information services and technology management, software and hardware development, customer service management, call center management, international logistics and shipping, international joint venture company operations, and military service.

I am an engineer with business experience as an executive. I have experienced multiple roles at large companies and at start-up companies. Later in my career my roles were running business units and/or being Chief Executive Officer. Some of these experiences went from from infancy to sale of the company.

1. Tailored Business Transformation Guidance: At SCORE, I provide personalized transformation strategies for small businesses. I can help you realign your business operations with your long-term vision, ensuring you effectively navigate through changes and leverage industry benchmarks to measure success.

I help SCORE clients by assisting and guiding them on their entrepreneurship and small business journey. I have specific experience in small business management, government contracting (DoD), product development, and startup finance (specifically venture capital finance). I can help clients to contemplate starting a business, build a startup business plan, understand startup financial projections, self-assess the strength of their startup concept, and set SMART goals and objectives for their startup journey.
