I can help start-ups or existing small businesses in the areas of start-up, management, and administration, effectively running a business, start-up needs and issues, operations optimization, marketing, product development, product pricing, production scheduling, equipment needs and layouts, business plans development, budgeting, finances and, business development, human resources, and relations. In fact, I can assist in all areas of business start-up, operations, and management outside of legal advice. I am also a military veteran that can help a start-up business or an operating one needing mentoring and areas of securing funding. I have over 35 years of experience in these areas through owning my own businesses and managing those of others prior to starting my own business.
I'm a former adjunct professor of Small Business Management at Kean University and Business Management at Rutgers University. I hold a BE in Chemical Engineering from New York University, an MS in Management from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and PhD in Business Administration and Management from California Western University.
I'm the author of START YOUR OWN BUSINESS - NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED, 3rd Edition 2021. Available through Amazon on Kindle and paperback. An offset to the above book, STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS - WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE, is also available through Amazon Kindle and paperback.
