ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 I am a the middle child of 7 from a second generation lower middle class American family. I was married in 1983 and have 2 children. I am a licensed Professional Industrial Engineer and have lived and/or worked in New Hampshire, California, Ohio, Wisconsin, Hawaii, Shanghai, Western Europe, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. I have been in Management for more than 28 years for both Start-ups and established companies. I have worked with both Union and non-union workforces. I have also sat on the Boards of non-profit organizations.
I believe a person's ancestry, education, life experiences and religious beliefs all contribute to who they are and how they relate to situations. My experiences have taught me that reasonable people exist everywhere in the world and that no one has all the answers. It has caused me to be open to change and to always ask why. May I never stop learning.
