Why trust me with your entrepreneurial dreams? My journey is anything but ordinary. Beginning with over 25 years at Newport News Shipbuilding, I was at the helm of constructing the world's most formidable vessels - nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. This role as a process improvement expert sharpened my skills in navigating one of the most challenging and precision-driven engineering fields imaginable. But my path didn't end there. Following my tenure at the shipyard, I ventured into the dynamic world of small business, spending the next two decades navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship. In this time, I spearheaded multiple award-winning startups, raising millions in funding and bringing innovative products to the global market—products that have not only won awards but have also achieved commercial success worldwide. Achieving Project Management Professional certification along the way further solidified my expertise in guiding projects from conception to successful completion.

"Valuepreneurs" distills these comprehensive decades of experience into actionable strategies, standing as a beacon for those eager to embark on the entrepreneurial journey. This book has not only been recognized as an Amazon bestseller and award-winner but also embodies a testament to a career dedicated to excellence, innovation, and tangible success.
