Driven entrepreneur with a 40 year history of leadership, product development, deadline management, and business success. Previously partner in Chase & Associates Design Build, created Chase Cabinet Makers Inc. a custom furniture manufacturer for commercial ship interiors with clients of single vessels or fleets. Our challenge was to provide our clients greater profit by providing their seamen high quality furnishings for safety, comfort, function, and increased productivity. To do this required close B2B relationships, design and engineering versatility, un-wavering quality, and extreme commitment to deadlines. By maintaining these objectives we achieved a steady clientele operating world wide, and seven figure growth. Currently partner in Leaf Gulp Inc, a Lawn and Garden tool manufacturing business. This field has always been a passionate avocation and is now my focus. We provide the same commitment to our clients greater profit by fulfilling unmet needs of their customers, increasing cross-sell, and building customer loyalty. Leaf Gulp Inc. offers unique patent pending tools designed to fit the specific unfilled needs of 60+ million US homes. They are manufactured here in the US with our 40 year experience which means maintained quality, quick nationwide delivery, and fulfills our commitment to supporting our local and national community.
