My experience revolves around running an art and picture framing business in the Washington DC metropolitan area for the past 25 years. I have an extensive background in the art and design industry along with the experience of running a successful retail/wholesale multi-location business. I have a vast network of clients in the DC area and have been associated with several non-profit charitable institutions. As a graduate of GMU I have an ongoing relationship with the art school on their Advisory Council and a great interest in the success of the students and alumni. The future and ongoing success of my company will be based on the continued relationship with my clients and the growth through the network that I continue to expand.
