EXPERTISE
Market Research
I appreciate the value of insight+action. Too much research is stifling but the idea of using research to drive action to drive more research to drive more action is what I enjoy most about the field of Market Research. It is a forward moving process that when done correctly can reduce risk significantly over time.

The Focus Equation is a proprietary process my team & I designed to drive business forward through the development of clear goals, parameters, success systems and creative space to build world-class organizations. I am passionate about teaching entrepreneurs how clarity and focus will allow them to stay the course toward success.
