That summer we averaged over $2400 a month. Recognizing there were no concessions at the site of my Little League games, I encouraged my best friend to help set up shop selling soda, candy, and snacks at 100% margins on weekends, hiring others to work for candy during our games. My entrepreneurial soul emerged young, starting my first venture in sixth grade. At my core is a knack for generating a roadmap to achieve a goal, and inspiring others into mutual trust and coaction with contagious enthusiasm. I am excited by the ‘whys’ that force getting my hands dirty, addressing problems rather than symptoms. Strategist, Consultant, Coach, Teacher, Analyst, Ethicist, Bridge-Builder ![]()
