I'm now involved in real estate more specifically buying and working out mortgage notes secured by real estate. Once a note is re-performing, it may be available for others' retirement investing. I'm finding this more rewarding at this time.For a creative outlet, I enjoy woodturning at my lathe. I post a woodturning video every week at http://AsWoodTurns.comI loved my experience in Cost Management. It was very rewarding to help companies identify where they were hemorrhaging profits and learn how to becomre more profitable.I am a recovering CPA, CMA. That means that I am serious about working with operating management to improve business operations and not simply enforcing financial policies.I advocate Activity-Based Costing(ABC or ABCM) because it creates a framework to follow the trail of cause-and-effect to improve operating results. I have implemented Activity-Based Costing with clients in multiple industries.I also speak the language of systems as I have worked closely with computer systems my entire career and actually done significant programming when necessary as well as a significant amount of ETL (Extract, Transform, & Load) development in creating ABC models.I love to find new ways to integrate business operations, financial operations, and systems.Specialties: Woodturning, Integrating Financial, Software, and Accounting expertise with business operations; Activity-Based Cost Management (ABCM), Business Modeling; Group collaboration, ETL for ABCM Modeling, Performance Management
