I have enjoyed two concurrent paths as a businessman and a non-profit visionary. Both roles bring together my ability to identify needs and design customized solutions to make a lasting difference in the lives of the people through trusting relationships.Before joining Forward Motion Careers, I had my own business for over 20 years and worked with major corporations such as Travelers Insurance, Safeco Insurance and Progressive insurance.Developing strong relationships is important to me. Both in business and my personal life. I have a passion for helping others succeed and bringing people together to help each other.As Vice President of Forward Motion Careers I:Work with business partners to develop new revenue streams.Collaborate with the marketing team on product development.Advise the company president on business development opportunities.Businesses funding is tenuous as we navigate the challenges of COVID-19. As a nation, I believe we must find ways to equip small businesses to be profitable. We must also find ways to maintain the non-profit infrastructure so these organizations can continue to serve the networks of people who need their services. Various tools and platforms exist, such as social media, that can be used to uplift both our economy and our national sensibilities. These are personal goals that I make on a daily basis.
