I was a successful software developer and manager for many years, working with banks, international consulting companies, government contractors, small businesses, and non-profits. I enjoyed the work very much, though as the industry evolved and my life progressed, I began to tire of corporate life and started looking for a way to build a new career that I was in control of that satisfied my income and lifestyle goals. During that search I was fortunate enough to be contacted by a Coach from The Entrepreneurs Source. Working together, we examined my Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity goals, and after a thorough search and vetting, examining several very different businesses, I took control of my life and became a TES Coach! Now I have made it my mission to help people like myself through their own journey of self-examination to see if business ownership is the right way to realize their life goals and dreams.
Work history.
My career parallels the path of many of my clients… progressive achievement through various industries, ranging from start-up businesses to multidimensional international corporations.
My education focused on computer science, management, and finance, essential skills in a career that focused on developing and implementing complex systems for government agencies, startups, and multinational corporations. I was exceptionally proud in my ability to develop innovative solution architectures, and manage high-performing teams of technical people – programmers, architects, engineers, etc.
