Professional Experience: |
After 1 1/2 years working with a Bank directly after leaving school, I joined the military. During my 5-year tenure with the newly formed Royal BahamasDefense Force, I maximized the opportunity to expand on my education and experience by training with the Royal Navy at the Britannia Royal Naval College in England & working as a team leader in real-time law enforcement and military action. Then, in 1983 I moved back into the commercial world and worked as the Assistant Port Director at Freeport Harbour for another 8years, setting the foundation for my next 24 years as a successful entrepreneur, business owner, and employer. I have started 9 businesses, from virtually nothing, 2 I still owned and operated, and 3 have been sold and remain successful operations.
Forming each was accompanied by a series of successes and disappointments; however, I gained many valuable lessons. I am currently involved as Business Development VP for a major new York Investment Bank connecting Entrepreneurs with sources of capital for acquisitions and expansion of their businesses. I also provide consultancy services for business development globally.
