I am so happy that you are here seeking advice! My 'Mantra' has always been to "Share What You've Learned." Well, the past 27 years of my life has been quite the Quickie-Mart of experiences. I have worked in Corporate, Start-ups, Venture Capital & Investing, Higher Education, Non-Profit, Community & Political Advocacy, and Scouting Leadership & Training. I truly believe that this frappe of experience(s) has made me quite the multi-linguist when it come to business. In my career, I have had the honor of working with and speaking to some of the greatest minds in America and I love that my 'rolodex' of contacts are always just one phone-call away. In this day-and-age, it is more important to mentor, coach and teach this information to others so we create an amazing universe of leaders and team members who understand what it means to 'work together.' Below are a few highlights  that provide some insight into my credentials as a professional advice-giver. I can't wait to make your acquaintance and 'share my knowledge with you!'
