I’m here to support you on your journey, not to drive the bus. You keep the decisions and the credit; I provide the judgment, preparation, and steady presence behind them.
A private, tactical sounding board for the middle-of-the-night worries you cannot share with employees, family, or friends.
A steady, comparatively neutral presence for difficult conversations, conflict, accommodations, and sensitive departures.
I learn the team, the operation, and your “why.” You work with me—not a rotating consultant or call center.
I understand tight margins. Good advice includes knowing what matters now, what can wait, and what is unnecessary.
Maine business isn’t for the faint of heart
I’ve been in the trenches of Maine business since 1992. For the first twenty-five years, I was an owner and manager—signing the front of the checks, watching the P&L, and managing through the 2008 crash, utility-price swings, workforce shortages, and the latest Augusta whirlwind.
Maine has its own “From Away” reality. I work only with Maine businesses because this is my home, and knowing the people, communities, laws, and operating pressures is part of the service.
