About

Who am I and why should you care?  Why am I publishing this blog? Fair questions.

If you stick around, the answers will become apparent.  The quick and easy response is I have years of experience starting up and growing businesses mixed in with corporate and non-profit management as well as a separate career as an agency and corporate recruiter.  I want to share  knowledge with those who want to learn how to start a business, those who are starting businesses, and those who have started businesses and want to grow them.

My intent is to post and to  have some guest posts from other experts to share best practices and practical knowledge.  Although, sometimes the topics can be pretty dry, I will endeavor to sprinkle bits of humor throughout.  I intend to keep my posts short and to the point to value your time. I will always welcome your comments and differing points of view.

So, why am I qualified to do this?  Consider 4 businesses founded or co-founded and 25 years of management skills as the expertise necessary to impart my knowledge.
