I started my career as a computer programmer in a medium size privately held manufacturing company. In less than five years I was the VP of Systems. Two years later I was appointed Exec. VP. I personally developed the business strategy with unique applications of technology which doubled profit of the company and increased sales to over $350 million in revenue. The owner past and I moved on. Over the next few years with different partners, I was an owner and Leader of 3 successful startup companies. turned a plastic thermoforming company from $1M in loss to $1M of profit in less than 2 years. The last 14 years of my career I was the President of a steel fabrication business in which we increase profit from under $1M to $15M. Ultimately, the business was sold to Nucor Steel where I managed acquisitions for the fabricating division. My last project for Nucor was to Lead a region of 10 fabricating plants from a $10M loss to break even in two years.
