My Bio: a little background

Entertaining Education? Now that is a pretty solid hook to hang your hat on.

"Sharing personal experiences and lessons in a fun, light and refreshing fashion with interested professionals at annual meetings, conventions, trade shows, seminars, and workshops is what I do. I mingle. I roam. I laugh. I educate. And I also learn a great deal from you!

By keeping messages real, I manage to connect with audiences at all levels. Connecting with people while helping them to focus on important aspects of their lives results in a meaningful and highly effective session.

Merck, AT&T, Toyota, Maersk Shipping, Savin, Seimens, Pitney Bowes, Wells Fargo Bank, The Washington Post, Sysco Foods, Ortho Pharmaceutical, and Los Alamos National Labs represent a sample of satisfied clients. 

Bankers, Financial Specialists, Military Controllers, IRS Professionals, Meat Processors, Asphalt Contractors, Real Estate Gurus, Lumber Salesmen, Chimney Sweeps, Software Consultants, Professional Secretaries, Meeting Planners, Tractor Manufacturers and Travel Experts in 18 countries have all benefited from an enthusiastic, believable, and a refreshingly motivating style of delivering useful business-building information.

In 2000 I  wrote a book focusing on realistic sales practices titled Become The Exception (Third Printing) and have lectured at the University level. My articles have appeared in a number of business magazines including Inc., Sales & Marketing Excellence, Entrepreneur, and Selling Power.

Personal Notes: I am based in Colonia, NJ. and travel out of Newark Airport and West Palm Beach (winter months) ... am husband to Barbara, friend and step-father to Brian (Age 32). I earned a  Master's Degree in Marketing from Fairleigh Dickinson University which followed an undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts. I am a certified sailing captain, a private pilot, and I earned "Ironman" Triathlete status in 1998 at the age of 48.
