Professional Experience
Director and Vice-President
Golden Triangle Financial Services
Current
We started this import and distribution company from nothing in 1992 and have grown it to the point where we gross over $10 million annually today. My original contribution was primarily my financial and business acumen. Today, I primarily provide overall business advice to the active management that runs the company on an ongoing basis.

LawTalk MCLE

Mediator and Arbitrator
Wisner Dispute Resolution Services
- Current
Although I retired from the practice of law at the end of 2002, I really found my calling in mediation and conflict resolution. It provides me with a joy and satisfaction unlike anything I have ever experienced through labor in the past. I separate my work into two apparently irreconcilable categories: commercial and family (divorce) mediation. Actually, the techniques of each are quite complementary! Each set of skills makes me better at the other. God, I love what I do!!
