You are a Small Business Owner, a United States Veteran, or both. I am a United States Veteran who worked in Corporate America and later chose to conceptualize, co-found and build a small family-owned business that grew at a rate of 150% over a 10-year period. I am you. In many ways, we are "brothers-and-sisters-in-arms" who have endured many challenges in our business or military life.

      I earned my leadership chevrons from the United States Marine Corps and became a high-level Human Resources Manager and Advisor and then a seasoned entrepreneur. I earned my HR "spurs" in manufacturing, financial services, retail catalog, and online sales. Focused and measured, I have a demonstrated passion for veterans and small business owners. My life and professional journey have uniquely prepared me to advise and guide you in growing and prospering in your business.
