Experience

Without commitment, experience means almost nothing.

My work is about creating certitude, about nurturing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between myself and my clients… and anyone who hears my voice. It’s about loyalty and trust.

With that said, here are a few of the roles in which I’ve served over the past forty-plus years:
