In my early thirties I developed a life plan. Cryptically it is (1) Learn all I can (2) Practice in the workforce as long as I can (3) Write in my field. Recent certification in copywriting, and related courses has further prepared me to take advantage of my training and experience to leverage other businesses to their next level. I recently authored a book, "Non MBA Pocket Guide to Management" available on Amazon. I am working on a follow-on about Managing People. I do copywriting, case studies and white papers primarily for industrial companies. My experience covers financial management of large public sector organizations; designing, establishing and leading successful analytical organizations in the public sector. Private sector experience is leading projects and performing analyses for large public sector customers and for small - midsize businesses (DoD Mentor-Protegee Program) to identify impediments for growth. I continue to share my expertise and training with volunteer organizations and colleagues when possible. I continue to publish and participate in professional Organizations. I have published 14 referred Publications; 5 editorials in SWFlorida Business News; 10+ Technical Company Reports on Studies designed and conducted. I have taught business subjects and management at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I have designed and conducted workshops in the US and Germany.

Author of the upcoming book, "Control It, Influence It, or Dump That **IT - Your 3 Choices for Healthy Stress Management," the first in a long series of books on Stress Management. Everyone can learn to be a positive, productive thinker. If that seems challenging for you, I can coach you and give you the tools you need to become more self aware and self reliant. I have no intention on being your "Life Coach", where you need help for the rest of your life. I will not diagnose you or figure out what may be wrong with you. The goal is to figure out what you want to improve, not discover if you may be "crazy" or if anything is "wrong" with you. Some people may learn everything they need in one of my short lectures, while others may need a few private sessions. We can figure it out together. I am a retired Air Force veteran. This doesn't mean I'm highly regimented, inflexible, in need of specific orders or always "on edge". These misconceptions are frequently used to label veterans. The truth is, like most other veterans, I have learned how to be thrown into a new, unfamiliar situation, quickly assess how things function, master my surroundings, find ways to make things more efficient, teach a new person how to become a master, and move on to the next challenge. In the military, we did not work for profit, we worked to be efficient masters of our domain in a short period of time, and get the mission done, no matter what. The problem is that most military veterans don't know how to communicate this culture to the 99% of the population who never served in the military. I can translate those opposing mindsets to each other in a positive way, so each side better understands each other and is able to function together. I am married for the second time, with a blended family of seven kids. This, combined with my military service and a Graduate degree in Performance Psychology allows me to understand the brain, human instincts, and stress. In coaching a good number of veterans how to manage PTSD, I know it's possible to help anyone manage themselves.
