Lifetime of experience directly in, or in support to, small business organizations. Nearly three decades in franchise industry, printing sector. From recruiting, selecting, and awarding master international franchise licenses to supporting through information, experience, and recommendation; training, analyzing, researching; to creating & implementing new processes aligned with company and constituent objectives.

Currently exploring suitable opportunities to contribute my combination of education, experience (international/multicultural) and zeal for helping small businesses succeed, prosper, and grow. I have been offered an early retirement opportunity, and I am looking for "pathways" through which to offer what I have been so fortunate to accumulate in experience and exposure.

"Well-practiced" international traveler.
