About

I have experienced success in the franchise business as the owner of multiple types of franchise units. I have extensive knowledge of starting, growing, operating, and selling franchises. Like Fran Mart Connection, I believe strongly that a business should facilitate the dreams of its owner.

 In 1983 I completed my MBA in small business management and entrepreneurial studies, then purchased my first franchise. I won numerous awards for quality management, and became a key “go to” business owner upon whom the Franchisor  depended on to train new franchise owners.

 In 1998, I successfully sold all of my franchises. Today I continue to consult in business development and work force training. I am excited about my relationship with Fran Mart Connection as an independent consultant, as it affords me the opportunity to use my knowledge first hand about franchising and business ownership. I have become is an expert in advising and coaching others in decision matrix development, and execution. Whether I am  coaching youth debating, serving on a local political committee, or helping in my community, my passion is to help others achieve their dreams.  

I am an avid reader, and active in the local library system volunteer organization. I have three (almost grown) children, one getting ready to go off to college.
