Summary
I am an experienced management consultant in the wholesale/retail, automotive, manufacturing, and non-profit
industries. I have held the positions of Controller, CFO and President/CEO.
Having experience in management positions, enables me to understand the issues and concerns business owners
have. "Sitting on both sides of the desk," gives me a perspective many other advisors do not have. I understand
what it takes to run, manage, and grow a business whether it is a for-profit or a non-profit organization.
Examples of work performed for clients include:
*$1.1 million dollar profit turnaround in a one year span.
*Negotiated $300,000 in debt off of balance sheet for a struggling non-profit organization.
*Plant relocations to increase efficiency and revenue for three companies.
*Traveled to Spain to negotiate a multi-million dollar sales contract for a manufacturing company.
*Traveled to China, Mexico, and Canada to set up manufacturing agreements realizing savings of 25% on
production costs.
*Secured a three year title sponsorship worth $750,000 for a non-profit organization.
*Renegotiated an automobile dealers floor plan saving thousands in interest costs.
*Increased sales 45% over a three year period for a manufacturing company.
*Hired a new management team for a struggling manufacturing company.
*Developed a system of accounting procedures for a toy company.
*Refinanced a $15 million line of credit for a growing manufacturing company.
