I have been in a fortunate position a few times in my career to take a Sabbatical for a year at a time, and spend quality time on family functions like boating in Lake Geneva, WI, coach various sports for my two sons (baseball, basketball, football, swimming, soccer) and complete long-delayed home projects assigned to me by the family CEO. This time-off allowed me to recharge my batteries and renew my commitment and responsibilities of being a full-time father and husband. Running your own business is a time-consuming multi-job responsibility that can consume your entire day – if you let it.Once a month, I volunteer my time at the Hesed House homeless shelter in Aurora, IL to prepare a hot breakfast from 3am - 5:30am for up to 200 people in need. We are always looking for volunteers. If you have the time and interest in helping those who have a tough time in helping themselves, come on down. I became a volunteer in 2005 and I still am today. It would be nice if more people would actively pursue their civic responsibilities of putting forth the effort to extend a helping hand for those unfortunate few who truly need it - www.hesedhouse.org.Previously, I was involved with a community program named Rebuilding Together - Aurora IL Chapter. The organization’s goal is to help families of need (low-income, handicap, single parent, veterans) and perform house maintenance tasks like painting (inside or outside), yard cleanup, hauling junk and similar type activities.▲ I encourage everyone if they have the chance, to take some time away from work and truly understand what your roles and responsibilities are as a husband, father and citizen. When you have the time to relax and decompress, what you may have taken for granted, you quickly come to realize the positive impact that family and friends have played in your life. As in business and as in life, follow the 3 Cs (communication, commitment, compromise) in your relationships and you will be better off for it.

As CEO, I led a full-service eCommerce and SaaS consultancy that provides advisory, development and managed delivery and support services for SMB firms. We are proud of the fact that over 80% of our clients employed our own internally developed SaaS Marketplace (Amazon, eBay, NewEgg, Rakuten, Sears) solution and WebSphere Commerce platform services for at least two years and up to thirteen years - a direct testimony to the results produced by the quality of our work. Our service performance, product and industry knowledge, and the fact we don't lose sight of the challenges we were tasked to solve, are the primary reasons our clients retain us. When you find a technology firm that delivers financial results derived from the performance of its services, our clients feel that is a commitment worth retaining.Our business philosophy is that technology is most beneficial to a business when it improves the business processes it is bound to. When a business process is improved, the company can provide better quality of services to its customers, achieve faster time-to-market for its products, and produce a stronger balance sheet for the organization. In essence, a business process improvement is directly related to an increase in the operating margin of the company and therefore provides immediate value to its shareholders. For each successful engagement we complete for our clients, the result of our actions is to adhere to this "Winning Strategy".▲ What I learned as an entrepreneur - YOUR SUCCESS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

Worked in the network labs at AT&T Naperville to provide quality control for the certification of the OSI and TCP/IP network stack AT&T developed for their commercial 3B suite of servers running the UNIX OS. As a System Test Engineer, I was accountable for the development and execution of test plans for the certification of various network interfaces - OSI Session/Transport Level interface using Windows Winsock and Berkley sockets, the System V TLI protocols and the DataLink/Network Level Interface using NDIS and ODI protocols. ▲ I enjoyed my stay at AT&T; great team of developers and system test professionals to work with.

Co-Founder, CIO and Vice President of Professional Services, which includes hardware (RS/6000, pSeries, IBM storage) and services (infrastructure support, custom integration and software development using WebSphere Commerce as our eCommerce platform). My executive team grew the firm at an annual compounded rate of 105% over a seven year period (from $250K the first year to $20 million seventh year). I developed the service deliverables our clients needed and mentored/guided the Professional Services Team that provided the company's hyper growth during my leadership tenure at Aspen. ▲ These were exciting times to be in this business and industry during the Internet boom; positive memories that will last for a lifetime.

Wore many hats during my career at IBM/Chicago that included but not limited to class instruction (AIX certified instructor for the RS/6000 platform), technical sales (sales staff support on client calls, technical presentations on IBM's products and services) and provided hands-on field support for existing clients. Won numerous awards for technical excellence, customer service and was one of the top three revenue producers in the Greater Chicago area for IBM mid-range platforms. ▲ I looked forward on a daily basis to work with a great team of inspired salespeople and engineers, plus happy customers throughout my tenure at IBM.
