In my 10+ years as a small business consultant, I've worked with dozens of business owners to strengthen their leadership skills and create and implement plans for growth. This experience, combined with my own business ownership makes me an expert at the nuts and bolts of running a business - bookkeeping, operations, and marketing - as well as with the emotional and spiritual questions that can come up when growing a small business. I look forward to assisting business owners and managers create new opportunities for business and personal growth.

I and my two colleagues buy back books from our customers. Used books make up about 40% of the inventory at Third Place Books.

My business partner Zachariah Cassidy and I have created an open and welcoming place for people of all ages to dance. My focus is on teaching beginners the skills that give them confidence on the dance floor.

Cascadia provided small business loans to women and minority owned businesses. I assisted clients in improving their general business skills.
