While in college I married and a son was born. I went to school and
worked full time for Longs Drugs Stores.
The month after graduation, majoring in Marketing and Retailing, I was
promoted into management. My career lasted eleven years achieving store
manager level.
After leaving Longs I started a nation Christmas Decor manufacturing
business with my father. During the recession in the early nineties we
converted our business to a custom screen printing company.
My father retired six years later and I again took the business to
national level. The named changed and I worked with many government agencies
and domestic & international corporations. I eventually sold the printing
business and started a wholesale supply company.
I always had a propensity for inventing. When I invented thermo-hemming I
went to night school for two and a half years learning design, electronics
and machining. I built a thermo-hemming machine which I licensed to a global
company. Now they have 2 of my machines and 14 other additional tools and
accessories. I building a third machine and continuing inventing with
consumer products.
In addition I retired and starting the next career as an author.
