Simply put - I'm passionate about solving the problems faced by small-business leaders through the development of processes and tools. My experiences as both an operator and owner in the hospitality & retail industries have lead me to consulting work that helps others capitalize on their capabilities and succeed in their mission.

Success in my day job, as CEO of the Ian's Pizza Franchise, results from my 15 years of broad experience in new small-business development, strategy, and talent development, an MBA from UW-Madison. and the spirit of a life-long learner.
