I like to make things happen.
Hands on or leading people, I work to create, build and deliver market defining products that capture large percentages of marketshare, provide superior customer service and satisfaction, while maximizing net profits for my clients or employers.
Analyzing, evaluating and improving existing products and business processes is a core service I offer as well.
Apple Computer, Netscape and i-drive have benefited from my skills.
Currently I am seeking new consulting clients and permanent opportunities.
