The passion that drives me is helping others pursue and achieve excellence. Whether it's an organization or an individual I can help.

By definition I'm a HeadHunter, serial entrepreneur, author, vlogger, publisher, big biller, speaker, career coach and recruitment industry consultant. I believe everybody has the ability to achieve success in life and my goal is to help others succeed. I work with those in career transition as well as human resources, staffing and recruiting professionals on fine tuning their business.

So far, I've published two books focused on recruiting excellence. The first, Happy About LinkedIn For Recruiting, is about Recruiters using the LinkedIn network and Big Biller, an audio book about million dollar recruiters. My current project is helping others achieve career success and I'm working on a third publication.

I went from sales and marketing management with fortune 500 companies such as Revlon, Max Factor and Helene Curtis, to the computer and software industries where I launched a chain of computer stores and participated in taking a software company public. I joined Management Recruiters International (MRI) in 1986 and was their National Rookie of the year in 1987. For the last 20 years I have run my own retained executive search business and along the way created a software company focused on software for recruiting and staffing firms, and founded Recruiters OnLine Network (RON), a top 100 site. I sold my software and web businesses in 2002.

I have been a founder and board member of the Pinnacle Society recognizing achievement in the staffing industry, a national speaker for NAPS, served on the Board of Directors of The Texas Association Staffing Services (TAPS), was an officer with the Metroplex Association of Personnel Services (MAAPS) as well as a founder of the local Dallas Independent Recruiters Group (IRG) and a lifetime member of the USMC Force Recon Association (FRA)
