About

I am a businessperson with a bent toward entrepreneurialism. I have a very good ability to proactively and

effectively engage others in the formulation and execution of new ideas. Areas I’ve had the most

experience with are high-end design, experiential marketing, web development, exhibitions and trade

shows, real estate, charitable work and philanthropy. I’ve had the good fortune to work with some of the

most talented people in each of these areas and will endeavor to continue to make a meaningful

contribution in my ever evolving fields of interest.
