Words of Wisdom:

• Your web presence has the ability to be your best employee – it says exactly what you want, how you want, it works 24 hours a day / 365 days a year, never calls in sick, never asks for a day off and it never waivers in how it delivers your message. Like an employee, it needs to be given goals, evaluated and constantly pushed to get the best results.

Education:

• Masters – Business Administration  – University of New Hampshire
• BS – Business Administration – University of New Hampshire

Biggest Pet Peeve:
