• Executive Director

  • Jan 2002 - Present

  For twenty years, I have helped small businesses come together for the greater good of the industry and each individual business. Through the association that I started with a business plan, we have created a multi-million-dollar trade association that has passed laws, created purchasing preferences and educated consumers all to the benefit of its members. We also established an international standardized testing protocol to help set our members' products apart. I've written extensively about the industry, including U.S. Supreme Court amicus briefs, and hundreds of articles, press releases and e-mail newsletters. My leadership has led me to be considered an industry expert, so I have sharpened my speaking and presentation skills, and have used them at industry events, and before government and legislative bodies. My advocacy initiative raised close to $1 million and led to the hiring of lobbyists and the passage of laws favorable to association members. I concurrently served as editorial editorial director for two highly-profitable international trade journals. I am also an attorney, admitted to practice in Illinois (1986), Utah (1990), and the U.S. Supreme Court (2005).
