I have been fortunate to work in several different business genres. I have owned my own companies in the areas of development, finance, Real Estate, consulting, and advertising. I have written business plans, licensed, and consulted for countless companies.

In my past, I have increased market share of a finance company by 300%, developed successful large mixed-use projects, underwritten loans and financials, re-organized company structures, introduced company changing processes, and led companies on the brink of failure to success. I have been an enthusiastic change agent, assisted in software development, and have learned from the many challenges thrown my way.

Owning a business is not easy and the choices can be tough to navigate. Speaking as someone who has run my own business and experienced the highs and lows that come with it, I have a deep understanding of what it takes and how hard some decisions can be.

My experience has allowed me to understand the needs and wants of individuals and their life goals. It reinforces in me that really seeing a person’s goals, and desires, is not only rewarding, but good business. I am here to help.

My experience includes operating my own companies, investment strategy, business turn-around, Real Estate, development, finance, production, project mgt., compliance, and consulting. Having a license since 1996, I enjoy combining Transworld’s extensive network with my experience to help clients. I love to meet people, learn their unique stories, and help them achieve their goals.
