I am a hands-on IT business leader with over 35 years of experience helping a diverse array of organizations evaluate, select, build and implement  business management systems and process changes in order to achieve their strategic objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have implemented many intra- and inter-company computer systems integration initiatives, helping companies ensure that critical information flows to where it is needed to support key business functions. Where needed, I have also custom-developed software programs to meet unique business requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My projects to date have included product lifecycle management (PLM) software implementation, supply chain software implementation, time and attendance system implementation, systems integration, EDI standards specification and development, data conversion, end-user training and technical seminars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Some of the companies and organizations that I have helped include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City of New York<\/a>  — NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY)<\/a> — Liz Claiborne<\/a>  — Homedics<\/a> — Jones Apparel Group<\/a> — Warnaco<\/a> — Tommy Hilfiger USA<\/a> — Federated Department Stores<\/a> — Madison Square Garden<\/a> — Target<\/a> — Dillard\u2019s<\/a> — Dun & Bradstreet<\/a> — J.C. Penney<\/a> — The Hartford<\/a> — Equitable<\/a> — Single Stop<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to founding my consulting practice in 1996, I also worked on projects at clients such as Phillips-Van Heusen<\/strong><\/a>, The Home Depot<\/strong><\/a>, New York State Employees\u2019 Retirement System<\/strong><\/a>, The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey<\/strong><\/a> and UPS<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up in \u201cTinton Falls<\/a>\u201c, a small town in central New Jersey about one hour south of New York City. I went to Cornell University<\/a>, earning a B.A. in psychology and running as a hurdler on the \u201cBig Red\u201d track team. I also met my future wife, Jeaniene there as well! After graduating from Cornell, I went to Northwestern University\u2019s J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management<\/a>, where I received an M.B.A. with dual concentrations in Marketing and Management Information Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began my work career as an MIS consultant at Andersen Consulting (now known as \u201cAccenture<\/a>\u201c), and later joined Kurt Salmon Associates<\/a>, where I worked as a senior information technology consultant in their retail and consumer products group. Since 1996, when I founded my independent information systems consulting practice, I have focused on helping clients to implement systems and to solve their data integration challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife Jeaniene and I now reside in Riverview, Florida<\/a> and we have two children. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, walking, reading, and practicing tae kwon do<\/a>, an ancient and evolving martial art founded in Korea. One of my favorite quotes is \u201cService is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth<\/strong><\/em>\u201d, and I have tried to live up to that sentiment by giving back to the communities I have lived in and to other organizations that I have been a part of \u2013 as HOA president, PTA president, multiple Cornell University alumni groups, coaching kids, and working on various community initiatives, including being elected to serve two 3-year terms on the Maplewood, NJ Township Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
