How do your colleagues describe you?
"He likes to get things done! And, he's a bit eclectic given he's into woodworking, skiing, whitewater kayaking, cooking, landscape design, international travel, reading and even performing on the pipe organ."
Why do you do what you do?
Having traveled extensively, I believe that the true character of a community can be defined by its local and small businesses. Through the SBDC, I love being able to help someone take their great idea, an amazing recipe or new product and turn it into something meaningful for themselves and others. Together, we all benefit.
