My focus is diversity! As an entrepreneur and small business person, I love the challenge of mastering new challenges. Whether it’s a new business, rejuvenating an existing one, or helping friends and family develop talents and discover new horizons, I enjoy the opportunity to be part of a positive change; part of improving the world around me.

Time has blessed me with a great many experiences: GM of a large mining and manufacturing company back in my 20’s; crowd funder; award-winning master woodworker and finisher; inventor; licensed blaster; government contractor; executive director of the largest soccer club in the NW; business consultant to public companies and startup efforts; fund raising; and founder of a company trying to launch the most advanced and healthiest workspace available.

On the personal side I have been a touring professional blues musician; a gourmet chef preparing meals for large gatherings; an athlete in college; a soccer fan(atic); a handyman; and a good partner, dad, friend, and citizen.

While developing my woodworking skills, I was taught that the important thing was the process; not the product. Some things like relationships have no end product – so the process is everything.

My current company is trying to launch the most advanced computer work space ever created. From a variety of funding sources, we developed the fully functional prototype to about 90% completion. Now we are taking pre-orders from the ‘crowd’ to fund the final development for manufacturing and fulfilling the first orders. It has been validated by many types of health care experts; from physical and occupational therapists to the former Director of Life Sciences for NASA.
