Finding work that is meaningful and rewarding, yet pays the bills at the level you desire, is one of life's most challenging tasks. I am a successful entrepreneur who has started and owned several businesses, starting in 6th grade.

Additionally, we will evaluate your level of risk taking, relationships and approaches to pursue a new career path. My style is comprehensive and tailored to you to help your reach your career goals.
