Every coin has two sides. One of my coin’s sides, my lifelong business journey, is described in the roles and opportunities of my career shown below. That journey has been a rewarding passion-driven exploration of my talents, education, interests, and resulting experiences.

One of my coin’s sides, my lifelong business journey, is described in the roles and opportunities of my career shown below. That journey has been a rewarding passion-driven exploration of my talents, education, interests, and resulting experiences. I am proud to have given full, energetic, and joyful application of myself to the needs of my employers and customers.My coin’s obverse (main, primary, principal) and lifewide side is more visible these days. It is a greater focus on faith, family, and community…giving back and exploring experiences that serve others in new ways. I continue to support prior employers and customers when asked (and as time permits). Strategically, though, I find family moments most meaningful and I double-down on volunteering to support church and community service projects. These include audio-video production, graphic design, woodworking, public relations, and process repairs (can’t resist when I see them broken). I prioritize daytime fresh-air, motion, and evening unwinds—from a day spent well. LinkedIn still meets my networking aims, and I hope we find future intersection. Let me know, how can I be helpful?
