During my college years, and for a few months after graduation, my idea was to go into the food service industry. That changed 5 months after earning a degree in Business Administration. I got an offer to go to Italy on a two-year project… 18 years later, after spending 9 years in Italy and 9 years in Brazil, I returned to the USA.
Over the last 30 years, I have run and owned businesses including:
- A Marketing and Advertising Business
- A full-serviceDuring Restaurant & Sports Bar
- A Mortgage Brokerage
A Convention & Public Speaking Business
- A Language School
- A Bicycle Tourism Company offering day tours
- A Website Development and Hosting Service Company
- 2 Business Consulting Agencies, one in Italy and one in the USA
During that time, I learned some universal truths about building businesses. Today I work with small and medium-sized businesses, helping with niche market identification, message composition, marketing, sales training, pricing strategies, operations and process improvement. We help business grow and increase their bottom line.
As a Certified Professional Coach, I excel in building value and developing a plan for success using a systematic approach to create a unique business that stands out from the crowd, delivers results, and transforms a business into a money-making machine.
My goal is straightforward: to help serious business owners see a dramatic and immediate increase in leads, sales, and revenue. I’ll provide you with the tools, resources, and training that will make your business the dominant player in your market. I have a system that is tried, proven, tested, and true.
Many would say I’ve lived an adventurous life and I have to agree, there is some evidence that would support that theory.
- 9 years in Italy

- Fluent in Italian and Portuguese.
- Bicycle trips in the US, Italy, Croatia, South East Asia, and Ireland (3 times)
- Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro

I look at life, and business, as an adventure. Today I get to help business owners create a business that supports their lifestyle and allows them to live their adventure.
