I have worked over 30 years in the wholesale distribution and manufacturing world. Ranging from working for a national distributor, having established, and exiting a manufacturers sales agency, and investing in and operating a manufacturing company I have seen all sides of the distribution and manufacturing business from product development, go-to-market, sales, marketing, technology, and M&A.
I also consult with and advise global manufacturers, distributors, private equity, and venture capital firms and am a sought after speaker and writer.
A California native, I live in Orange County with my wife Darlene, and office mate/faithful hound Cooper, and have 3 grown sons.
