    Experienced Energy Consultant with a demonstrated lifelong history of working in the consumer services industry. A strong focus on Entrepreneurship.History: Lost my job in RT in 1986; re-entered college for a midlife career change. The mood in early 90's was to hire '30-somethings'; at 42 I was considered over-the-hill! I used my landscaping courses from Cornell and built a family business.2011- started decreasing business to semi retire. Summer 2013-my son Dan was laid off most of 3 yrs. He wanted to take over the business (he started with me when he was 12y/o) so I stepped aside & gave it to Dan; I help part-time. Since 2014 he tripled business & diversified into the Landscape Lighting business! I also sub teach in the Corning School District.9/7/17 - It's been 4 years; I've enjoyed working for Dan but it's time to focus on consulting; most exciting 2 yrs ago I diversified in business; Consult in the Energy Business.Always looking to work with a few good, self motivated people who have grit & determination to enhance their life. I'm currently expanding internationally- Japan & later 2017 Alberta, Canada. Looking for people who know people in Japan or know someone who knows someone in Japan. Currently in 16 states & D.C.I was crazy busy; volunteered on 10 boards/committees. We all find time to do what we want to do. Some people say they don't have time! That's a grown ups excuse like a child saying 'The Dog ate My Homework' LOL! The past 2 yrs I phased out of all 10 activities to enjoy my business & travel, semi retirement, my grandsons (Jaiden& Philip) and my soul mate- we'll now have more frequent time between Roswell, Georgia and Corning NY- Life's Great!If you're willing to grow & step outside the box, there're plenty of opportunities out there. If you have the grit and determination to add value & enhance your income & lifestyle, feel free to contact me an we'll do lunch on my dime! "If It Is To Be It Is Up To Me "
