I’m an entrepreneur, teacher, project manager, and consultant. I understand some of the things you might be going through. I’ve had fast growing organizations with growth through acquisitions, product development, and market development. I’ve also experienced very difficult times in business and can help you through those journeys as well.
I have provided consulting services to many profit and non-profit organizations. Areas of consulting have been in: organizational development, strategic planning, sales training, acquisitions, due diligence, divestment, capital budgeting, compensation methods, employee ownership structures, and general negotiations to name a few.
I have an MBA and a Project Management Professional (PMP) designation. I'm currently working on my doctorate in entrepreneurial learning.
When I'm not building online courses I am teaching at a local university or college, research entrepreneurial learning, consulting, or building my next business.
