I spend a large part of my day helping people get their goals and ambitions accomplished. Other than working with my companies Next Step Analytics, Detroit Financial Group, and Automation Alley, I help a few community organizations as well including The Friendship Circle, JVS, and Headcount. I am a big believer in the laws of the universe, and the laws of reciprocity. I do lot on my networking through Motor City Connect which is a Yahoo User group for Networkers in SE Michigan. In fact if, you’re in my neighborhood please join our group. All this is why I started Next Step Analytics, I spend my day helping other people save, and make money.
I am interested in knowing:
1) How I can help you improve your business?
2) What types of referrals would be useful?
3) What is the best money maker for you in your business?

We help small to medium size companies improve their bottom line. Through analysis of the clients current expenditures (or account payable audit) we identify areas where they are paying too much. We then either renegotiate with their vendors, or bring in our own vendors to maintain or improve their products and services. And reduce the amount of money being spent. Resulting in an improvement in the bottom line.

I am not a financial planner. DFG is a full service financial planning firm. I am a big fan of “do what you’re good at and get the hell out of the way for everything else”. So I refer a lot of business out. I focus on more of the process than the product, things like Estate Planning and Business Succession Planning. That being said I consider myself “special teams” for the traditional planners and insurance agents. I help agents with Disability Insurance for their clients, both on an individual and group basis. DI is a product that is difficult to navigate. But knowing the products and process involved with DI gives me the ability to work with agents and planners to help their clients. Another thing I do for agents and planners is help them with the more obscure type of products like 412i plans, buy sell agreements and life settlements. As you can see, I do a number of things but only when it’s the right thing. Let’s talk and see if we can find out what we can do for one another.

The Healing Garden Journal is Michigan’s finest and most trusted journal for well-being. We are a free, bimonthly publication with a readership of 125,000 people who are committed to improving themselves—body, mind and spirit.
I was on the marketing team. Selling advertising and provide an opportunity for the right business to expose themselves to the perfect market.
I currently send referrals over to them when it is appropriate. I just don’t have the time to be spread to thin.

I was the contractor, who sold the jobs and ran the job sites single-handedly. I had a few different crews which I juggled, and managed. I left the business due to a back injury.

I was a Radio show host at Yeshiva University's Station WYUR. The show was called "Y U Jam" The show focused on Music, Music History, and Interview. Most of the music was in the JamBand or Jazz Genres of music. We interviewed the musicians, talked about the music, and did a surprising amount of promotions. Including Tickets to shows, Shirts, Posters, and CD's.
In my opinion, it was “The Best Damn Radio Show Ever"
