About
I have a talent for helping businesses make money…
Most businesses are not maximizing their profitability or workforce. Let me be clear, profit doesn’t come from the expense of the workforce, but rather an aligned synergy between the two. A place where employees are empowered to identify both profit makers and profit killers.
Practical Experience
My father was an optometrist. I grew up cutting glass lenses in the basement of his office.
I learned the practical aspects of the business from him and then went to school to learn to make money.
Six Sigma
I am a lean Six Sigma black belt. I see inefficiencies. I see ways to empower each member of an organization with an owner mentality, caring about growth and profit while spotting and eliminating waste.
The Right Mind in the Right Place
Finding the right employee for the right task is crucial. Identifying the strengths and limitations of your workforce can change the tide for a business that is just getting by to one that is skyrocketing.
Employee Apathy is Costly
You cannot motivate people. Did you know that? Motivation is achieved by the individual themselves. All you can provide are incentives that create motivation, but not all people are alike. Identifying if who you are trying to appeal too is motivated extrinsically or intrinsically is crucial to identifying what incentive is a waste and what incentive will make all the difference.

Each office is different each need is different, let me show you where I can help you grow. Call or email to schedule a preliminary business evaluation and need analysis.
