After being severed twice in 1993, I went on the road with what I had been doing most of my life. At the end of my first ten months of operation, my gross revenue was less than $3,000.00.

That was when I realized that having all the answers has no value, if you don't listen carefully to the questions! Once I understood that asking the right question was much more value than coming up with the perfect answer, my business took off!

I grew from process flow, inventory control, maintenance planning and logistics to include ISO 9000 process auditing, human resource development, resource scheduling and business planning. The focus of my practice was productivity improvement and establishing best practices through continuous improvement. Life was good!

In May of 2002, I was diagnosed with a serious batch of colon cancer. That was when Bonnie and I put together a five-year plan to retire.

In October of 2007, we closed out the full time operation of BCS Business Control Strategies and started the next phase of our lives.
