Which statement best describes you? | I live in the Naples area 1-6 months a year |
In what year did you begin living full or part-time in the Naples Area? | 2019 |
Currently, what months are you in the Naples area? | Nov – April |
If more than three (3) years, please explain the nature of your time spent (vacation, employment, other). |
Bought what will be our second home and plan to spend most of winters and part of summers in Florida. |
What is your current employment status? | I am working full time |
Do you have a spouse, partner or family member who is a member of GNL? | No |
Have you previously applied for GNL membership? | No |
5. Why are you interested in becoming a GNL member? |
I have held off until now. I am shifting to leaving full time work, and at most I will stay as a Consulting Advisor to certain clients. As such will put the next phase of my life to work helping the communities in which I live. I am very active in Cincinnati now with a near exclusive focus with the homeless/poor. In Naples I want to find a way to a broad immersion into the needs that exist in the community and find those areas where servant leadership I might offer could have the most impact. |
6. What do you consider your most significant career leadership contribution? |
I have been Managing Partner of major practive areas in several firms and CEO of several firms. My most significant contribution will be looked at differently but I am a Christian and believe that I have always been a servant leader, or leading from within and developing the talent and impact of those more junior or less experienced to me. I have done this many times over – and that is what makes me most proud. Now I lead a 500 person Strategy Practice that will seem impressive – but it the group of people I help develop faster and further because I helped them that is significant. |
7. What do you consider your most significant civic or community leadership contribution? |
I have been on Board in Churches and American Red Cross and Homeless Shelters. But my most important leadership contribution is again leading by example and I shifted from just setting direction and took on the one-on-one mentorship of several destitute and homeless men. I started with them 5 years ago and honestly had no idea how I could help them attain the goals they had. Both are now in their own houses, with income, are more healthy and safe – and are no longer “homeless guys” but my friends. I have leveraged my impact with many others now following to do the same. One life at a time. |
8. What areas of community involvement are of greatest interest to you? |
The less fortunate or poor and/or homeless. This can go many different ways like abused women, or drug addicted, enslaved children or the like. |
10. What skills do you have that can positively impact the community? |
I have worked a career and pretty successful in all forms of business. I am delighted to help at a Board level – and fundraising is usually one of the most complex functions a not for profit has. I will gladly do that. However, I am a problem solver. I am action oriented. While a very senior executive in business, I like to roll up my sleeves and get to the absolute core of a problem and solve it. I would gladly bring my funds and time to a board, and be effective. But I want to get hands on in the field and make a difference. |
11. Describe a time when you led a group to bring about change. |
I took a small mens group of Christians that were studying the bible. This group has shifted from “navel gazing” to now active in the world to make a change. They are helping the homeless, serving meals, and this week will all work with the Ronald McDonald House. I lead by example and have them all enthusiastically active. I believe there are so many that want to do something but need to be lead. Flip that and look at business and I am an extremely gifted consultant to Fortune 500 companies and I have hundreds of examples of taking small teams in side the worlds largest company and create sources of major new growth. |
12. Please use this space for additional comments about your interests or experiences that have not already been mentioned. |
We took years to pick a place to make home beyond Cincinnati. Beach, golf, pool, restaurants, church and friends are superficial. I am not RETIRING. I am ready to start the second half of my life. As a Christian – that is making my God’s vision for me visible in the community that I live. When I get up – I want a focus to help the greater Naples area. I want to learn where the problems are and what needs this wonderful community has. I do not want the simple challenges. I want to find the really tough areas that will take years to address. |

5. Why are you interested in becoming a GNL member? |
As a relatively new resident of Naples, I have been looking for ways to become more involved in the greater Naples community and to meet other people outside of our gated club. When I heard about GNL from a member, it seemed like an ideal opportunity to get an in-depth exposure to the issues and needs facing Naples and Collier County from civic leaders and volunteers with direct experience in many aspects of community life. I volunteered for many years in my community in CT and found the experiences to be very rewarding, both in the work we accomplished and for the friends I made along the way. I would like to become a GNL member to learn about ways to “give back” and find ways to become more involved with the Naples community. |
6. What do you consider your most significant career leadership contribution? |
I led the acquisition analysis and financial due diligence team for the commercial equipment leasing division of GE Capital. I developed financial models to analyze acquisition profitability and assess business risk. I also developed financial due diligence processes used to evaluate target businesses’ operations and prepare for post-acquisition integration. During my tenure the business completed over $25 billion in domestic and international acquisitions. |
7. What do you consider your most significant civic or community leadership contribution? |
My most significant community leadership contribution was as a board member and President of the board of directors of the Westport Weston Family YMCA in Westport, CT. During my tenure on the board, the organization went through major change. In 2004, faced with declining membership and dwindling revenues, the board decided that it was necessary to replace the aging facility. Plans were drawn up and brought to the Town for approval by the various boards and commissions. This led to years of hearings and litigation. Eventually the Y entered into a contract to sell the existing facility and began planning for construction of the new Y. Financing included proceeds from the sale of the downtown building, a $20MM capital campaign, and loans. Fundraising proved to be challenging so the plan had to be scaled back to a smaller facility. Finally in the fall of 2014, the Y opened the new facility. Within a few months membership almost doubled as many new families were attracted to the modern building and the new amenities. This set the Y firmly on the road to financial stability and established it as a major resource for the community. |
8. What areas of community involvement are of greatest interest to you? |
Education |
10. What skills do you have that can positively impact the community? |
I have 30 years of professional experience in financial analysis and planning with a major corporation. I have over 10 years of leadership experience on a non-profit board (5 years as President) including a building project and a major capital campaign. Under my leadership, the Y built a new $50MM facility and averted near closure of the organization. I developed skills in leading meetings, giving presentations, and fundraising. I participated in all the committees of the board, including the building committee. I also dealt with a number of human resource issues with our CEO. |
11. Describe a time when you led a group to bring about change. |
During my tenure on the Y board, there were a number of significant incidents that required me to gain consensus from the Board to approve changes to the project scope. One of the most memorable was convincing the rest of the board to give up the long-cherished dream of a 50-meter pool. The initial design incorporated a 50-meter pool as well as a large leisure pool area with indoor play features. While waiting for the necessary approvals and permits, we engaged a facilities consultant from Y of the USA. The consultant initiated a tour of several newer YMCA’s in the northeast for a small group of volunteers, including myself. After touring a half dozen newer Y’s and meeting with their staff it became clear to us that the design that had been developed was a larger shiny version of the 80 year old building we already had, but it did not incorporate a number of the features that were the current best practices in other new YMCA’s. We also learned that most Y’s did not have a 50-meter pool because it is not cost-effective. It became obvious to the small group that changes to the design would be required and the 50-meter pool would have to be down-sized. With the aid of the Y consultant, we did a high-level re-working of the plans to show how we could incorporate the key missing features and still maintain our budget and square footage constraints. Presentations were given to the board and many discussions were held. Ultimately the change in scope was approved. Giving up the 50-meter pool was a bitter pill for many to swallow and to this day there are those who are disappointed that we could not afford the pool many wanted, however it is recognized that the redesign provided the kinds of spaces today’s families desire and enabled the Y to successfully rebuild membership levels. |
12. Please use this space for additional comments about your interests or experiences that have not already been mentioned. |
One of the experiences of which I am most proud was the creation of the Bedford Family Social Responsibility Fund at the Westport YMCA. Shortly after opening our new building in 2014, the Y became the beneficiary of a $40M bequest. The board decided to apportion the bequest between endowment, funding for future capital improvement projects, and a philanthropic fund to give back to the community. An initial amount of $5 million was set aside to fund grants to one or more local programs, to be selected through an annual grant process. We decided to focus on not-for-profit organizations that provide direct or supplemental education programs for children and young adults in neighboring communities. As part of the grant process, members of the committee visited each grant applicant to gain a better understanding of the program and the quality of the work being done. It was eye-opening for each of us to see the great need for these services in our surrounding communities and learn how the grant applicants were making a difference in the lives of children and families. Since its establishment in 2015, the Fund has given out grants totally over $1.25 million. We believe we are the only YMCA in the country with this type of program. |

While working at General Motors I was tasked with implementing lean (efficient) manufacturing/operations processes. This was a significant challenge working in union environments as there was significant resistance to change and the possiblity of reducing headcount. To gain union support we started small by training them in a classroom setting followed by implementing small improvements in manfacturing/operations. When they were able to see the benefits to the employees such as improved safety, work environment and improved team work we began to get gain their support. Additionally any displaced workers were moved to other departments, utilized to implement improvements in other areas or to bring additional work into the manufacturing plants and we followed through on this committment. Communication, training and following through on committments were key to the success of these projects. |

5. Why are you interested in becoming a GNL member? |
Due to my current work position, I feel and believe that I could make a significant and positive impact on the community through the contacts, resources and educational opportunities offered by GNL and their members. |
6. What do you consider your most significant career leadership contribution? |
It is hard to choose just one, however, being in a position of leadership, I have the honor and pleasure of setting the example of what an accountable, dependable, passionate, understanding and honest leader looks like to 100’s of young adults. It is an incredibly rewarding accomplishment to see them grow into mature and productive members of society. |
7. What do you consider your most significant civic or community leadership contribution? |
I organized, planned and executed an event for our local first responders (CCPS, GNFD, etc) as a thank you for everything they do for our community. The event was wildly popular and has now become a yearly event in SWFL. |

Mental Health and providing services to our underserved population in Collier County. |
10. What skills do you have that can positively impact the community? |

11. Describe a time when you led a group to bring about change. |
One group I led that brought about a positive change were all of the volunteer coaches at the Naples YMCA. When I took over the sports department at the YMCA 5 years ago, I was inheriting a mess. A sports program full of poor principles and leadership. I was able to rally all the coaches and staff to enact a fair play policy for all levels and sports. The change, although bumpy at first, was met with one success story after another. Now the program has over 500 participants each session! |
12. Please use this space for additional comments about your interests or experiences that have not already been mentioned. |
About 6 years ago I unfortunately and quite suddenly, became really sick. I have luckily made a full recovery and today, you would never know that I was fighting for my life. That experience dramatically changed the man I am. The little insecurities and fears we all suffer from, disappeared. What did appear, was an individual that understood life is fleeting and became incredibly passionate about the things that really matter in life. Things like family, love, passion, impacting others and leaving behind a legacy and positive example for my daughter and others that will last a lifetime. I hope my future enrollment in GNL will help me fulfill my goals and dreams as a son, brother, father and positive member of society. I would be grateful for your consideration. |

Currently, what months are you in the Naples area? | November – June |
If more than three (3) years, please explain the nature of your time spent (vacation, employment, other). |
Naples became my official residence in 1998 however for the majority of that time I was working overseas in international development. My mother’s residence was here and this was my home when I was between assignments or on vacation. I worked in Naples in 2001 as Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, and in 2009 as a consultant to the 5th Avenue BID. |

Do you have a spouse, partner or family member who is a member of GNL? | No |
Have you previously applied for GNL membership? | No |
5. Why are you interested in becoming a GNL member? |
Now that I am retired I have the opportunity to engage more deeply in the community. I believe that through GNL I can learn more about various organizations and opportunities to engage, and create a network of people who can be instrumental in this pursuit. |
6. What do you consider your most significant career leadership contribution? |
My most significant career leadership contribution was through my work as a U.S. Government contractor in Afghanistan. A primary function of my position was to conduct and oversee gender analyses of every USAID (United States Agency for International Development) project in support of our policy for gender equality and female empowerment. Analyses conducted prior to my assuming this position were largely academic rather than practical; as such, they were not useful in affecting change. Under my leadership, gender analyses were produced as roadmaps that were actionable and practical, and included guidance for monitoring and evaluating change. A runner-up contribution was during my work in Romania leading an activity for tourism development. Through my work I became acquainted with the Dean of the Faculty of Tourism for the University of Transylvania. I learned that their curricula was solely theoretical and did not include tourism marketing. I developed a curricula for undergraduate and graduate courses in tourism marketing, and taught them for one semester to model practice-based leaning approaches. |
7. What do you consider your most significant civic or community leadership contribution? |
In 1995 I opened a retail business in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago, an area that was in very nascent stages of gentrification. Because the neighborhood had sparse retail it had not yet become recognized as a retail destination. I initiated an informal business owners association to do cooperative advertising and special events to drive retail sales. |
8. What areas of community involvement are of greatest interest to you? |
At this point I am interested in intercultural/diversity issues, affordable housing, WGCU (as a pillar of civil society), and Planned Parenthood. I am interested in learning about other areas that may align with my values and interests. |
10. What skills do you have that can positively impact the community? |
My skills that are likely to contribute to positively impacting the community include project management and organizational skills, program and impact evaluation, grant proposal writing, and intercultural understanding. |
11. Describe a time when you led a group to bring about change. |
Initiating the business association in Chicago elevated awareness and foot traffic in our retail neighborhood. My work with the University of Transylvania brought about change in teaching curricula and methodology in tourism marketing, and produced a cohort of people who had developed full-blown, practical marketing plans for the Bran Castle which had just been repatriated to its private owner who put it on the market. |
12. Please use this space for additional comments about your interests or experiences that have not already been mentioned. |
I served as Vice President for the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce in 2001, and strategic marketing consulting for the 5th Avenue BID when it was first formed in 2009 |

When I realized she was retiring, I knew she would make an excellent GNL candidate. And she would certainly be an asset to any community organization, including GNL. |

5. Why are you interested in becoming a GNL member? |
My family members have been visitors and property owners starting with my grand parents before WW2. My parents (deceased), brother and sister have each owned property here or are current residents. We have witnessed the substantial changes to the larger Naples community over the past 5 decades. It is no longer the quiet vacation destination it was in the 60’s and 70’s, and somewhere along the line, it’s size and complexity changed faster than my knowledge of the basic dynamics of the community. I would like to better understand how the City and environs currently work, and what the future of Naples looks like. I have the pleasure of local friends who were or are GNL members who consistently speak positively about the organization and their experience in the program. Between my interest in what’s happening in Naples and the encouragement of GNL members, I think its time to broaden my experience, if I am deemed qualified and selected. |
6. What do you consider your most significant career leadership contribution? |
Being the President & CEO of a successful spinoff from a parent company in 1995 into an independent, publicly traded corporation from which I retired in 2012, but continue as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. |
7. What do you consider your most significant civic or community leadership contribution? |
Working on a joint-venture between two youth performing arts organizations in Milwaukee through which we raised $12 miilion to purchase and re-purpose a former brewery distribution center in Milwaukee to become the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center. It was an amazing success, and a very rewarding experience for me personally, for the two organizations, and most importantly, for the youth of greater Milwaukee. |
