“I spent my career working with Fortune 500 companies, using my skills to help them improve their bottom-line. I enjoyed the work, but it was too impersonal. When the opportunity arose to make a change, I decided to focus my skills and experience on smaller businesses where I can really make a difference.

The most important aspect of my business is that I take responsibility for each of my client’s businesses as though they were my own.”
