Additional Information

I was the founder and CEO of a Silicon Valley company that grew to #3 in the world with $350,000,000 in annual revenues. The company showed 90+ consecutive quarters of increased profits during my tenure.

I came out of retirement to enter the non-profit field as a consultant. Shortly after joing as a consultant, I was hired to run the Agency as COO, to free the CEO to take a more public stance in order to promote our mission.

As COO I have increased our facilities from 11,000 square feet to 53,000, allowing us to hire 10x the number of blind employees.

I refurbished our 310 acre facility in Napa Valley to increase revenues (prior to this campaign the endeavor showed a $200,000 annual deficit; it is now profitable and serves three times as many special needs children annually)..
