My experience as a small business owner and employee give me a broad and understanding perspective for small to medium size businesses. My career started off in agriculture as a producer. This led to a lengthy career in the trucking industry as a manager and owner. Following the trucking business, I owned a small convenience store with gas. Again, I operated it as the owner/manager. I rounded out my career as an advisor for the Small Business Development Center in Victoria, Texas, helping over 800 diverse clients and businesses.

I can help businesses identify continuous improvement strategies, improve their processes and generate ideas that help maximize their efforts with the lowest possible costs.

Over a 35 year experience with Start-ups, Small, and Fortune 500 Companies. Good ideas need structure and execution.

I can help you learn about doing business with the Federal Government as a prime and as a sub-contractor to a prime or large OEM.
