During this time, attended college at night and weekends working towards a degree in electrical engineering. Attended University of Central Florida after graduating from Seminole Community College.
? Medical Equipment Sales—17 Yrs. Positions held, Territory Manager, Luminary Accounts Manager and Regional Manager. Multi-million-dollar purchase orders were the result of hard work, continuing education and the ability to manage the committee-decision sales process. Most of my career in medical sales was as a straight commission sales position. A consistent award winner. I left my position with GE Medical Sales to buy a small manufacturing business.
? Business Owner. This was the greatest learning experience of my entire working career. The experience of buying a business, I knew nothing about, with the very last of my cash reserves was incredible. In six years top line sales doubled and profitability tripled, with the same workforce of 13 employees. I have working knowledge of cash flow statements, P&L statements, capex, balance sheets, working capital and QuickBooks.
? Business Intermediary. My personal experience as a buyer and a seller helped me understand the value of a Business Intermediary. A good Business Intermediary is a difference maker in the buy/sell transaction. Having a good Intermediary on your side will save you money. Not having a professional Intermediary, could be your worst nightmare and likely a very expensive nightmare.
