After two years I joined IBM and worked as a systems analyst, project manager and sub contract business consultant for almost 40 years. I have experience in all aspects of manufacturing planning and logistics including interfaces to marketing, sales and engineering. Post retirement I have 5 years of experience as a SCORE mentor assisting small business people address either start-up or existing business problems.
I have a BS in math from the University of Scranton and am also APICS certified.
I served 6 years in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and am a member of the American Legion.
