The past two decades I've spent planning and building out advertising, recruiting, and promotional media campaigns. Am grateful to the hundreds of business owners both new and returning that counted on and trusted me to spend their hard earned money and bring them new customers.

During the discovery phase, determining what we wanted customers to do and how, those businesses many times told me about their dreams of growth. Seemed like the same theme was hindering or slowing the growth phase down and it was people. Employees are the source of a business's wealth.

This new chapter allows me to help businesses transfer a significant portion of the risk and responsibilities that go with having employees. This gives executives back time to spend on important things like key vendors, strategizing, and family.

While enjoying the benefits of being an empty nester, I spend weekends boating on the Chesapeake Bay, cooking up a new recipe, and finding a new mountain bike path.
