Supporting and participating in socially conscious endeavors is an important part of my personal and professional life. I believe a stronger sense of balance in life can be achieved through some participation in activities that focus on ‘giving-back’. My professional successes have enabled me to be an active supporter in several areas of giving-back, and now as Senior Vice President of Impact Enterprises, Inc., I have established a corporate responsibility program for the company that includes a ‘staff-championed-causes’ initiative that allows Impact’s staff to be active participants in meaningful ‘giving-back’. Impact Enterprises, Inc, a Women’s Business Enterprise certified by both WBENC and WOSB, is acknowledged as the most innovative manufacturer for custom presentation products. Our custom binder cover, menu cover, and accessory product design and manufacturing capability has provided us with an impressive international following. Impact's strengths and successes have stirred adventure, and creativity into the manufacturing industry for custom presentation products. Impact has a strong environmental initiative, working with recycled metals (copper, brass, silver, aluminum), solid woods from Verified Sustainable Forests, genuine leathers as by-products, aqueous coated materials, and highly durable materials. Our material offering is the largest in the industry.My degree in business from Syracuse University lead me to Wall Street, then onto my own business, and finally to Impact Enterprises, Inc. I am is the proud father of two sons and two grandchildren, and enjoy being physically active by participating in a variety of outdoor activities that include rock climbing, mountain biking, road biking, hiking, fishing, skiing, and paddle boarding. Frequently, these activities will include some of the recipients of my 'giving back'.
