PROFILE
My career has primarily
been in the Building and Construction Industry where I proceeded through the
ranks and various disciplines as an employee and later as an owner/entrepreneur
of various small businesses ranging from construction to retailing and
management consulting. This path led me to gain experience as a generalist in a
wide range of disciplines increasingly specializing in entrepreneurship and
general management consultation.
