I am currently working as an independent  advisor to small businesses.  Previously, I served as a Managing Director at VERCOR, a rapidly growing mid cap investment banking firm and Managing Director of M&A at Business Team, the nations's largest small cap M&A firm.  Some representative client  companies, listed by annual revenue, are:

•    Distributor of Hospital Electronics ($100M)
•    Disk Drive Test Equipment Manufacturer ($25M)
•    International Print Broker ($10M)
•    Manufacturer of In-Store Kiosks ($5M)
•    Distributor of Vehicle Emergency Equipment ($3M)

Prior to working with small businesses, I spent 40 years working in the business side of large and very large providers of global enterprise  information systems - like National Semiconductor  and Hitachi.  I specialized in and was unusually successful at business turnarounds, P&L management and product line management.  This required proven expertise in situation analysis, developing goals, strategy and a  road map, product requirements and development, product management, integrated go-to-market programs (direct and indirect sales, Web marketing and analytics), sales force productivity, OEM, alliance and channel partnerships.  During part of this time, I was involved in early stage startups and was instrumental in gaining financing from first tier venture capitalists such as Kleiner Perkins, Sutter Ventures and Mayfield.

I have an B.A. in cognitive development  from the University of California at Berkeley and an MBA from the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley. I enjoyed additional studies of in marketing at Stanford University then taught the subject at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California. My work has appeared in trade journals, magazines like Fortune and Time and in best sellers like Tom Peters' Liberation Management.

I am a native of Northern California,  low handicap golfer, member of the  pro bono staff at the Lawrence Hall of Sciences  at the University of California, Berkeley and board member of the McIntyre Ranch Foundation involved in equine assisted psychotherapy.  My intellectual passion is the integration of social biology with physics and economics.
