"One major item I have learned in business is the gift of giving back. Being able to teach others from what you have learned is critical. Throughout my 35 year career I have had great success and some defeats in business. With my vast experience in business start ups and take overs there is a lot to learn. I have consulted many new entrepreneurs and taught many. I know I can be a great help to students whom are trying to grasp business 101. I also still operate a construction firm for HVAC/Electrical. My experience will assist with the smallest understanding of business. I am certified in Electrical and HVAC, with an electrical engineering degree.

As a result of my training I have owned and operated small retail businesses such as coffee shops, tanning salons, sandwich shops, bistros, record shops, and video stores. Also larger businesses such as restaurants, furniture stores, group homes, child and adult day cares. As far as my connection to numerous non profit start ups. My approach would be to sit down the student and examine why he or she wants to study business or be involved with a business. Then we can understand what it entails. Understanding the money part and marketing is key, because without it it's not worth discussing." less...
