For the last twenty years my work has led me
through countless fascinating companies, since
for those years I have been a business
consultant, focusing on general management
issues that businessmen are confronted with
each day.  For the eighteen years that preceded
consulting, I was both general manager and
owner in various manufacturing companies.  I am
the husband of a wonderfully loving and
supportive wife, and the father to two beautiful
young women.

It wasn’t until eleven years ago that, through the
grace of God, and the saving sacrifice of Jesus,
that I made a faith commitment.  God placed in
my path holy teachers and pastors, such as
Pastor Dennis Miller of Emmanuel Community
Church, Pastor Erwin Lutzer of The Moody
Church and Chris Fabry and Greg Wheatley,
who, at that time had a morning show on WMBI
radio in Chicago, so that His word would be
spoken in a way that would penetrate my heart,
but also satisfy the questions within my mind.
Through this website, my intent is to create a
meeting place of shared observations,
experiences and ideas in business, which will
minister from me to you and you to me in God
honoring ways. Since January, 2000, I have been
driven and healed by the hope of one compelling
truth; “Being confident of this, that he who began a
good work in you will carry it on to completion until
the day of Christ Jesus” Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
