I have an entrepreneurial spirit, and always have.

I was a top seller of candy in elementary school, which started me down the road toward sales. In Junior High School, I had my own lollipop selling business that, because of its success, ultimately got banned because of the many copycats.

In High School, I started a tutoring business for all grades and most subjects when Math and the sciences were my strong points.

I then went to Harvard and taught myself various Web skills that landed me my internship at Intel which ultimately led to consulting for them during my last year at Harvard.

You can see my resume for more details on my experience and I have always been keen on multi-tasking:

  • working at Intel while finishing my CompSci degree at Harvard
  • having a small side Web business while working at other firms
  • completing my Columbia MBA while building The Fisher Group
  • writing and teaching pursuits while consulting today...
Right now, I have the following thoughts around my future plans:
  • Continue in consulting as my "full-time day job" as I know I am meant for this work

    Alternatively a role, in a global firm, which is consultative in nature would also satisfy my need for change and impacting an organization

  • Continue publishing articles in my three areas of expertise: CRM, Project Management and Business Process Redesign
  • Continue to teach at Boston University and/or others in the area
  • Investigate starting another consulting company when I've found suitable partners
