My professional background is in electrical engineering, specifically antenna design, which is one of several skills I called upon to achieve my entrepreneurial success. I started my first company, Micro-Ant shortly after becoming collateral damage in an acquisition gone terribly wrong. After many years of trial and tribulation, I eventually navigated the business, and myself, to success by learning the value of personal character and its profound influence upon establishing a prosperous and reputable company. The experiences and lessons acquired during this journey are captured in my recently published book, Lessons My Brothers Taught Me: How to Transform Your Personal Qualities into a Successful Business. Entrepreneurs, managers, and independent thinkers alike will find the content of this book relevant to their own stories, delivered with just the right combination of humor, wit and wisdom. In addition to growing my various enterprises, including Swordy Moon and Beans&Love, my mission now is to guide entrepreneurs and startups toward achieving sustainability, and coaching professionals in management or leadership roles to their full potential.
