Summary

I was a businessman/ entrepreneur for most of my adult life and grew companies from nothing to very significant growth in the tens of millions in revenue per year. I shifted from that life into one that facilitated my becoming a writer. While that continues to be a passion, it must take a back seat to a job and a career, in order to earn a decent living. I am a very responsible, smart, and dependable man, with an old-school work ethic, who takes commitments very seriously. I am capable of learning new things quickly. I am a year-round permanent residence of Mammoth Lakes and am looking for a long term career opportunity.
