I've spent two decades working in and around technology transfer and technology-based economic development programs at colleges & universities, as well as federal laboratories in Ohio and across the country. Creativity and innovation are essential foundation stones for a healthy economy; and in my experience people, businesses and communities that embrace and engae newer ideas thrive.

Feel free to engage with me here or by email to see if our program can support your development.
