Executive coaching, corporate training, and tools for personal, interpersonal, and cultural growth.

After seven years which saw big changes, difficult challenges, exciting successes, a lot of learning, and most importantly the creation of many great relationships, I decided in October 2018 that it was time to move on from my role as General Manager of the Jeffersonville, IN and Minnetonka, MN manufacturing and product development sites. To all my friends at Freudenberg, I miss you and wish you the best!

Upon leaving CRI, my wife and I started BlackSwan7. BlackSwan7 offered professional growth opportunities, leadership development, and executive coaching. We also consult in the areas of corporate culture, values, vision, strategy, and organizational change. Our current business, Retexo, is a continuation of the work we started all the way back in 2006.

In cooperation with several strategic alliances, was able to coalesce patented test chemistries, world-wide distribution, manufacturing (US and China) and a superior business plan in an effort to attract financing... all in 45 days. Ultimately, Precura unable to consumate a licensing/royalty agreement with the physician/inventor and was forced to pass on the opportunity.
