Other Interests
What attracted you
to FocusCFO?
Over the course of my career to date, I have been exposed to a wide variety of business-related experiences. Some were good and some were bad, but a lot of the time I went through it alone. I want to be a resource to those who are now coming after me. To help their learning curve not be so steep. To be the sounding board that I wish I had at different times over the years.
