I have been fortunate to have good mentors during my career. They have helped me be successful in business and I have learned a lot from each of them. My goal as a SCORE mentor is to "pay this forward" by helping future business owners be successful.
The majority of my business experience has been in lodging, restaurants, corporate housing, meeting planning and some information technology. I have opened or been on the acquisition team of over 20 hotels, restaurants and corporate housing locations, meaning that I have started about 20 businesses. This extensive experience has provided the necessary background for all phases of business, from starting a business with just an idea to working with existing businesses in order to improve them.
