EXPERIENCE

CONSULTING BUSINESS CO-FOUNDER February 2010

to Present

Legacy Analytics (www.legacyanalytics.net)

I am the concept, operations and sales force for this company that currently employs a professional staff of 24

and is growing under my direction despite the effects of a hostile economic environment in a “scorched-earth

marketplace”. We achieved profitability after our first 60 days and have maintained the same workforce that

we carefully recruited during our launch.

I served as the “front man”, sales manager, a one-man HR department, and chief strategist and have single-

handedly designed and implemented our growth strategies, marketing pieces, logo, look and approach. I have

a talent for successfully lending my energy and personality to companies that I’ve worked for and this ability

served me exceptionally well with my own company as I am incapable of giving less than 100%.

CONSULTING BUSINESS CO-FOUNDER August 2003 to

February 2010

Strategic Business Partners LLC

This company was my brainchild and creation. It grew to feed 80 families and won numerous local and

national awards, the most prestigious of which was Consulting Magazine’s “Small Jewel” award. We served

over 1,000 clients without any complaints and finished our lifecycle with an A+ BBB rating.

PRESIDENT/MANAGING DIRECTOR

1985 to 2003

International Consulting Firm

Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Milan, Italy

In this company of over 1,000 Employees, I answered directly to the President. I was in charge of all

operations, including selling over $35,000,000 in services annually and controlling the activities of 400+

professionals in the field. The services we sold and provided were high-ticket, "world class" consulting

engagements that we sold on a one-call-close basis. I pioneered sales and profits to their highest levels since

the opening of the office in 1954. I shouldered total profit and loss responsibility and:

• Managed all recruiting, selection, training and retraining of all my Executives, sales staff and consultants.

• Personally supervised both the sales management and the consulting side of our endeavors.

• Was one of two Executives in the company that had served in an Executive capacity in the only three

divisions that the company had. I also served as President of the Italian Board of Directors.

Business

Summa Cum Laude

PERSONAL

I am happily married to my best friend for 29 years and would define myself as a teetotaler, raw vegan, and

non-smoker. I embrace discipline, both mental and physical, in both my personal and professional lives, and

in small evidence of this, I have achieved a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. I am a peacemaker and well-

seasoned negotiator that is, most likely, a DNA gift from my long genealogical line of Amish ancestors. I am

a baptized Mennonite, have been listed in eight editions of "Who's Who Internationally", speak Italian

fluently and am expert in the use of all Microsoft Office software as well as most Adobe software including

Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign (I fancy myself a closet Graphic Designer). I am an Eagle Boy Scout.

FEDERAL BACKGROUND CHECK and CLEARANCE STATUS

I have been cleared for TS (Top Secret) on 4/7/2010 by the Department of State (DoS), however it has not yet

been activated because I have not accepted, nor do I intend to accept, a position as diplomat with them.
