Joseph's Story

Life Hi All... Born and raised in Pontiac, educated by the Public School System, McConnell Elementary, Eastern Jr. High, PCHS Class of '64, graduated Oakland University, one of the last draftees of the Vietnam War before the Lottery System, worked in 52 countries (soon to be 55 - Bosnia, Latvia, Russian Federation) and have returned to Oakland County to assist small-medium sized businesses in their development/expansion into the global marketplace. WOW!!! and all in one sentence!!! I worked in commercial industry all my career and didn't like it. NOW, I formed Cool & Associates and am having a blast! Invited by local business and educational institutions for speaking engagements since returning to SE Michigan. On the personal side. married for five years in the '80s, have two sons,developed a basic knowledge of five languages (plus a "smidgeon" of English)and am currently a member of several ethnic, social, service and veteran's clubs. Life is GREAT! Looking for that someone special to share. Workplace Having worked in 55 countries throughout the world, I bring a unique view of the many varied cultures that all organizations must adapt to in an effort to enter and maintain a presence in the global market place.

gures and corporate growth. This, coupled with the network of decision-makers I have developed (primarily in the Middle East and secondarily in the Far East), allows me the flexibility to readily travel from country-to-country pursuing business opportunities and promoting manufactured products. This knowledge of the Middle East market place permitted me to be selected as a member of the 1998 US-Saudi Government sponsored Saudi Trade Delegation traveling throughout the US identifying American manufacturers for potential business opportunities. With a background in engineering, I am readily able to translate customer requirements to existing/future product lines, thereby creating the meld required between manufacturing and the international market place. As an innovative and dedicated professional with a basic knowledge in German, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean (Hangul), Russian and Arabic, I have developed the capacity to be recognized in the development, organization and management of not only international telecommunications systems but also the international marketing of products not directly related to telecommunications systems. Examples of non-telecommunication products that I assisted in the introduction in the Middle East include High Voltage Electrical Power & Transmission Systems, Water Heaters (domestic & commercial), Electric Motors and electrical equipment utilized in the oil & petrochemical industry, e.g., SCADA systems.
