Goal
I would like to find a position near Stillwater that takes advantage of my
broad work and professional experience.
Background and Experience
Until 2006, I was a Medical Research Professor in the Surgery Department at
the University of Minnesota. My expertise is the immune system. I funded
my laboratory, employees, and research through medical grants and
publications. During my career, I developed a new concept for how the
immune system reacts to different conditions, such as cancer, diabetes and
wounds, by discovering 2 new "white" cells: one which fights infections,
and the other that heals wounds (publication list below). I named them M-1
and M-2, and this nomenclature is now used worldwide in medical research.
Having achieved this medical milestone, I became eager to use my creativity
and superior writing and speaking abilities in the private sector.
Currently, I am Head of Biology and Sales at Biolawn, a lawn and property
care located in Afton, MN. Using my scientific background, and
communication/sales abilities, I have spearheaded a doubling of the size
of the company in 2 years. Biolawn's business is seasonal.
So, I would like to find either a year round position, or a job (or
contract) to supplement my Biolawn Position.
My strongest skills and interests include: communication/direct sales,
organization, and writing. I am also 6'5"/very fit, and enjoy manual
labor.
Other activities I am currently involved with include: developing a product
that utilizes solar energy, and coaching basketball.
I have 2 children: a daughter (Audrey) who is a junior at Macalester
College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a son (Charles Jr.), in tenth grade in
the local Forest Lake School District. Below is a recent photo of me and
my son and daughter (2nd, 3rd, and 4th from left).
