In 34 years of business experience, it was often lonely at the top. I know it is possible to dispel this idea. I was fortunate to be a member of a Vistage peer group and an industry specific peer group. As a result of the learning and issue processing in my confidential peer groups, I learned to build and retain a great management team and partnerships. As leaders we need to make better decisions. Without an unbiased and confidential place to seek advice, leaders are often left alone to make critical decisions. I am an entrepreneur, founder and CEO. New Image Building Services is a full service facility services company that services facilities in many of the United States, with a presence in Latin America in Panama and Colombia and Qatar in the Middle East. My domestic and international expansion of New Image Building Services experience has been a direct result of providing best in class customer service.
I have a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield Michigan and was one of the youngest people ever to accomplish the highest level of industry certification, the Certified Building Service Executive (CBSE) through BSCAI.
I was the 2007 BSCAI President and chaired BSCAI’s International Convention and served on the Board of Directors.
I have written and been interviewed for numerous articles for industry magazines. I have spoken around the world on topics including public relations, marketing, building a management team, how to grow a distribution business with Building Service Contractor’s. I have also spoken with the Department of Homeland Security to the nation’s largest real estate owners on the importance of qualifying contactors in order to protect our nation’s critical infrastructure.
