I am proud that part of the turnaround included increasing retail street traffic by 100% within four years, but more importantly, building a brand.

After selling the business I decided that in the next phase of my professional life, I was going to help solopreneurs and entrepreneurs grow their small businesses by offering small business consulting services.

Early in my career, I was an information technology consultant. I worked exclusively with clients face-to-face. When I traveled to a client’s site they were charged for my hotel room, airfare, cabs or rental car, and meals.

As a virtual professional, I work in different continents over Zoom or Google Meetings. We schedule a mutually convenient time and we work together to solve your problems and ultimately grow your business.
