About Me

My photo
I have a background in sales and product management. I enjoy finding products that make it to the retail shelves and sell. I am wired half creative and analytical. I tend to see both sides of the issue. I know how to approach things rationally and I can switch gears to think “outside the box”. I enjoy traveling. I have had the opportunity to travel to many places in the world: Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa. I try to take on a global perspective when looking at the dynamics that are effecting an industry becasue we are in global economy.
