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.
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.
I can help you figure out whether or not you need a website and social media. Advice on how to go about creating a website and setting up the social media tools you may need. The basis of any tools needed for your business in the finances and the operations side.

I offer broad experience in science and commercialization having worked in executive roles in two startups. I am also familiar with small business challenges having run a family business consisting of a restaurant, laundromat and two apartment buildings.
