I am a growth-focused entrepreneur and consultant working with companies to help them grow. I approach growth as a process, not a grab bag of tactics. If that is music to your ears, let's chat:-)

Also, I love to write, especially about growing companies and living mindfully among the chaos of such ambitions.
