I am the CEO of a consulting firm advising clients on equipment reliability--mostly oil and gas producers and large fleets like construction companies and utilities. We also consult to the pharmeceutical indutry as well. We have six consultants and five staff. I have been to 27 countries and 45 states in the course of my career and have had the opportunity to work with many large corporations as well as small ones.

My sister, Yvonne, also went to Granville and Wiley and graduated from Reynolds High.
I have four kids, married to my childhood sweetheart and have 6 granddaughters-but no grandsons.
