With my knowledge of strategic business planning and experience implementing those strategies in real world companies, I can help you to increase cash flow, sales, and profit margin. I've even developed my own tools to give you every advantage in the competitive world of business.

My experience running a retail store taught me a thing or two

Years ago I ran my own retail business in Capitola and what I learned can help you overcome hurdles that all business owners face at some time. I taught myself about ideal levels of inventory and how to attain them; the importance of cash flow; and what goes into a successful expansion strategy.

Over the course of one year we opened three more stores in NorCal that placed a great deal of stress on the business from a cash flow, profitability and personnel perspective. I was concerned for their survival and took a hard look at my decision-making process which led to this situation. I was able to turn it around by creating a sound strategic plan and through cash flow management based on forecasting, operating efficiencies and inventory controls. What I learned through that experience can now benefit you.

I'll teach you everything I know

I’ve always had a passion for teaching and imparting knowledge onto others to succeed. From my experiences as an advisor to MBA students at Pepperdine University to what I do today in my personal consultation practice, as well as assisting Santa Cruz businesses through the SBDC.

I have experience in every facet of business development from startups to managing a national sales force for a Fortune 500 company like Reebok International. I’d like to teach you everything I know.
