Bio / CV
As an entrepreneur, technical engineer, and consultant, I believe in an emphasis on problem resolution. While resolving problems is a definite necessity in our line of business, prevention of those problems before occurrence is preferred. Therefore, my personal goal is to learn as much as possible from each problem we resolve as a company, and combine that field experience with research so that we can offer customers Professional Consulting and positive personal experiences as we minimize future occurrences of similar problems. This enables our clients to focus on growth, and us to focus on their needs.
As a business owner, I believe in a resource rich environment and creating a culture of excellence through customer service. I believe that leadership is a privilege and that the pace is set by the head. Our company's purpose and desire is to serve both our customers and community while contributing our resources to the business ecosystem of the markets that we participate in.
