My passion—turning life’s many twists, turns and tough hurdles into opportunities to improve the world within my reach.My background—I have an excellent education, gobs of valuable industrial experience, and possess the creativity and ability to apply my knowledge to the benefit others. I am an educator who strives to make a positive impact on the living experience of masses of people.My current business challenge—I am dismayed at the lack of progress industrial firms have made moving from hard copy print promotion and sales cold-calling to digital marketing to drive marketing strategies and boost revenue. My partner and I launched Pump Marketing Solutions with the primary goal of helping pump, compressor, locomotive, and other general industrial entrepreneurs catch up with marketing technology and grow their business. The difference we make is very gratifying to experience.

My personal side—I enjoy travel, hiking, heavy hands-on home and property improvements, cooking and socializing with friends. I live in the Pacific Northwest USA a few miles from the Columbia River in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains with my wife and our amazing dog, Rainier. Please don’t plan on visiting here; the weather is horrible, crime is the worst, people are very rude and the mountains explode (at least that’s what I want you to think).
