I spent about 18 years in the aerospace industry, primarily buying and selling commercial aircraft parts to airlines, manufacturers and heavy maintenance facilities.  In 1998 I joined with some partners in the creation of TradeAir, a revolutionary B2B trading portal for commercial aerospace components.  This venture was recognized by Forbes Magazine and  Price-Waterhouse and had reached through all levels of the supply chain.

My aerospace supplier directory was separately recognized by McGraw-Hill, as well. 

9/11 set the aerospace industry on its ear at which time I elected to pursue marketing ventures in the metal-working, entertainment and other industries. 

When not helping companies bring their goods and products to market I sing with an internationally touring vocal group, Bounding Main. 

I also enjoy outdoor activities, weight lifting, reading, films and select computer games.  My wife and I are pack leaders to a retired racing greyhound and three personality-filled cats.
