I have been in Chicago market for 40 years, and know most established companies with contacts. Have been past presidents of various international association/clubs, have many long time contacts, which makes the journey to new exporter or imports quicken the process of getting there.Over the years have traveled 5 continents representing companies, and am well versed on most issues.
