I am actively involved in my city as a Commissioner of Planning & Zoning in the fast-growing City of Surprise, Arizona, which has over 160,000 residents. I also serve on several Boards of Directors and Boards of Trustees for non-profit organizations. My post-retirement career is focused on giving back to the community through volunteering and mentoring.I retired from full-time executive positions in high tech marketing, business development, and sales several years ago. I have broad experience in all aspects of marketing, with an emphasis on product marketing, product planning, and channel marketing. I also was the co-founder of a regional restaurant group.
