I live in Columbus, Ohio with Chloe, my constant companion and delightful miniature schnauzer.

Career Highlights

I am currently employed by International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), where I work as a marketing and business development executive responsible for strategy, planning, and market execution.  Prior to working in alliances and marketing for IBM, I was a retail industry consultant, where I spent an average of four days a week on the road helping retail business improve their performance through better operations.  Prior to consulting, I worked as a retail industry professional, having been employed by major companies such as Lord and Taylor, and The Limited Inc.  My detailed resume is available here.

Education

I attended and graduated from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in (of all things) philosophy.  Prior to attending Rutgers, I spent two great years at Middlesex County College, where I managed to get serious about my education for the first time.  I graduated from East Brunswick High School in East Brunswick, New Jersey in the spring of 1982, where I did little more than daydream about girls, hang out with friends, and pretend I was going to be a rock star!

Chloe, a 6 year old miniature schnauzer, is my constant companion. I got her from my breeder, GloJan Schnauzers in Pataskala, Ohio.

Schnauzers are obviously our favorite breed of dog, and we love them for their "mindless" energy, devotion, and silly little ways.  For more on our schnauzers, go to the Silly Snout Pages.
