About

Many years ago my employees gave me a Fire Chief hat explaining that when things go wrong, I’m the one they rely on to remain calm in the face of adversity. A boss of mine gave me the “Damn the Torpedoes, Full Steam Ahead” award at a party because I don’t let obstacles get in my way of accomplishing goals. And, when people ask, “Describe your Out of Box thinking.” My response is “What Box?” The Myers-Briggs test (ENTP/J) says I am a Natural Born Leader and Entrepreneur. So if you need that strategic person that can create, invent, innovate and lead people towards business success, then give me a call.
