BACKGROUND SUMMARY

Ammased a great amount of knowledge and experience in the fields 
of consulting, finance, manufacturing and operations in at least three 
industries since I started working eigth years ago.  One of the most 
valuable things I have learned in all  these eigth years was to understand 
first WHY things are being done BEFORE trying to know HOW things are 
done.  Once enlightened with this thinking, your background will not 
necessarily be a hindrance to excel in an entirely new undertaking.
