Having 40 years of experience in the trenches of a growing family business, I have a vast amount of hands-on experience in business operations, government and minority business contracting as well as confidential and classified work. As the President and leader of my family’s construction and industrial equipment business for the last 25 years, I've led the company through growth periods as well as down periods. I was intimately involved in the sale of of several of our successful business units. I've been able to recognize changing market conditions and have moved the direction and focus of our company in logical, patient and thoughtful directions. My entrepreneurial instincts are finely tuned and I've recognized opportunities for new business units and how to build and manage leadership teams. My experience in the daily operations of business is vast, deep and recognized by other professionals for its attention to detail. I have decades of experience with banking relationships, insurance, minority business certifications, security clearances, accounting, government compliance and above all else, I saturate my business activity with an obsessive focus on integrity, honesty and the development of personal relationships that I believe is what really makes a successful small business grow and prosper.Specialties: Government Contracting, Small Business Operations, Family Owned Businesses.
