Retired corporate strategist. Community mentor. Teaching the next generation of entrepreneurs to build on solid ground, not speculation.
After three decades in corporate strategy, I've watched too many brilliant founders burn out because they skipped the fundamentals. No financial model. No market validation. No plan B when the first crisis hits.
Now, I'm channeling everything I've learned into mentoring local entrepreneurs in Alpharetta. Because I believe the next generation deserves better than vague encouragement and empty platitudes.
Every great venture starts with rigorous preparation, disciplined execution, and the courage to learn from every stumble. That's the standard I set for my students—and for myself.
