Looking to give back because over the years many people contributed advice to help me succeed. I can help people sort out planning issues( Strategic, operational and financial), narrow down problems into manageable situations and help them set and monitor milestones on the way to reaching their goals.

I hope to be able to bring my diverse business background to SCORE clients that can learn from my successes and missteps. I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit from selling T-shirts door-to-door in college to starting an event company in 2002 that thrives to this day. Mixed in were experiences in the apparel, printing and executive recruiting industries. I'm experienced with start-up, finance, cash flow, budgeting, sales, marketing and more. I look forward to bringing these skills to the table!
