Profile   Programs   Articles
Throughout my life I have enjoyed the creative process of building something from the ground up. Having started three successful businesses I can show you how to put a business plan together, how to find resources for creative funding, and how to put the plan into action for success. I enjoy the challenge of overcoming obstacles and believe there is a solution to resolve any problem.

Presently I am assisting a business associate to start a new venture 800 YOU-SELL a real estate quick flip franchise. I provide to him an answering service/screening process to all who respond to his newspaper and TV advertisement. After initial screening I provide a report which is emailed for further action. We discuss and implement how our process can be improved for better results. I am working with another business associate who is securing funding who is in the medical billing sector.

I spend a significant amount of time with my family, pets, and enjoy cooking.
