Consulting Background

Please know the following career account reflects the Grace of God and the goodness of thousands of associates and clients. This career spanning 50 years shows a record of increasingly more responsible assignments and the assessment of the highest performance ratings.  Once again, this career is made possible by outstanding leaders, top-notch clients and the love and nurturing of my family.

​

My very talented wife and I are blessed with four adult children: two daughters, a son and daughter-in-law, four grandchildren and provide a loving home for rescue dogs. I enjoy running, walking and biking with fun opportunities such as running the Boston Marathon and running in all fifty states. I have also enjoyed playing hand percussion with worship teams and rock bands. Our family is thrilled to sponsor four children through Compassion International. We also like to travel and garden.
