I have both an MBA and a 15 year corporate career in marketing, primarily in new product introductions for Corning, Sears, Rand McNally and Kenlin Enterprises. As I approached age 40 I decided to pursue my dream of running my own business and launched Creative Market Solutions, a marketing consultancy.

While working with the owner of a floundering franchise business on a marketing turnaround I realized that I really loved examining businesses from top to bottom and creating imaginative plans to boost sales and profits.

This desire led me to launch two businesses, the first in 1989 and the second in 2000.
