I understand how to commercialize technology and bring new products to market. I am competent in business planning and strategy. I am financially literate and can help clients assess company finances, create budgets, and understand risks. I'm skilled in communication, management, conflict resolution, group dialogue facilitation, and negotiation. I am adept at identifying unfounded assumptions, gaps in logic, flaws in business plans, and uncertainties that increase liability and failure potential.

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. 

The Treasure Valley SCORE Chapter presents the second webinar in our small business marketing series, Making Sense of Online Marketing.

I look forward to working with you as you start your business journey. I can assist you in the areas of marketing, sales and business management. My family ran a small retail business when I grew up, so I am familiar with the challenges and benefits of it. I worked as a production manager and sales representative for 14 years for a major producer of wood products in the Midwest. I sold highway construction products to general contractors and government agencies. I hold an MBA and PhD in business management and marketing of forest products.

In this webinar, small business owners will learn the importance of a domain as the cornerstone of their online identity and how to maximize its potential. Designed as a guide for businesses in establishing a strong online presence.

I am a licensed Landscape Architect and own a landscape construction company that is still active. I just celebrated my 50th year in business and employ over 80 people, my strengths are marketing, sales and general business practices. I also have a degree in elementary in special education, and I’ve taught, emotionally disturbed children for four years. I also was in retail for 16 years owning and running a local garden center.

I love helping people find their passion and develop a vision, core values and a plan to succeed.
