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. 

I can assist SCORE clients with corporate financing decisions. Most importantly, how to use the EIN of their business to obtain capital, get vendor terms, corporate credit cards and lines of credit without using their personal social security number. This removes personal financial liability from them and greatly reduces risks. I am also available to advise in the media space having helped grow networks such as ESPN and FOX Sports. Clients needing advice in sales, networking or communication can benefit from my 30 years of experience with those areas.

I can help with planning and evaluating your business ideas and activities because I've been involved in small business development centers in several positions, both as a banking manager and an economic development practitioner. I have expertise and education in financing, leadership, communicating and training. I will be happy to use my creative ability to help you solve problems.

to work with the right strategic partners/business owners/entrepreneurs to build ecosystems, to help entrepreneur/business owner at any level, from impartial advice to concept creation through launch, to grow together, and to bring prosperity to communities. Further more, to help new business/startup to grow, to thrive, to succeed, to remain competitive and prosper. My goal is to create a long lasting relationship, not transaction. My promise is that to be there to support, as questions or issues arise, every step of the way to help with branding client's business.

Reviewing business plans and presentations before clients attempt to approach debt and/or equity financing sources; analyzing alternatives to traditional financing options (viz grants, corporate partnerships, joint ventures, mergers, etc.)
