I specialize in the strategic development of operations, with a special focus on start-ups (who have not yet developed their ops) and aging companies (whose ops may be dated and cumbersome). I am affectionately known as "GSD" in my current role and I take great pride in my "figure it out and get it done" reputation. On a personal note, I am passionate about the development of both mind and character. I keep this goal at the front of my mind as I go through my day at work, on the road, when meeting new people, and when spending time with old friends.
