As the saying goes, 'we all need someone who inspires us to do better than we know how.'

Hi! I'm Ernie and together we will hasten your entrepreneurial growth. I enjoy assisting entrepreneurs and small business owners overcome challenges and obstacles they face when they think about starting a business, the initial stages of their business and/or growing their business. I have experienced first-hand the good work that SCORE mentors do to enhance the mentees' business knowledge and overall potential.

I will help you build a business projection to visualize the first (or next) 24 months of your business. Is it viable? How soon will you break even? How many hours will you need to invest? Then I'll help you play "what-if" to optimize your business plans to meet your goals. I will help you compare your options in terms of cost, benefit, and risk. I will help you set up record keeping for finances, invoices, and anything else you need to track.

I like to help people develop their skills and leadership abilities. Many times this involves solving complex problems where a different perspective is beneficial. Perhaps my 35 years of experience building, managing, and ultimately selling many different types of businesses may be useful to others. Entrepreneurial spirit makes our society successful. I'll do whatever I can do to further the success of that spirit.

I am passionate about supporting small businesses and have business skills which can be applied and shared to do so. Growing up I supported my own parents in running their business before going on to college to study business and technology.

I can help clients with business plans, information technology (IT) solutions, information systems tools and software development, product development, workflow management, team building, project management, Human Resources (HR) and recruiting.

I can assist you in putting together a business plan, building a roadmap, and delivering it. I have experience in leading global teams, executing large IT engagements, managing IT landscape, and implementing business solutions.

I have expertise in IT strategy planning, business planning, driving efficiency improvements, strategic implementations, and project management.

Over 38 years of proficiency with business startups and turnarounds, adept at building high-performing teams. Extensive knowledge in sales, operations, supply chain, training & development, and financial management. A problem solver with a passion for developing people and business.

Score has really helped me to believe in myself as an entrepreneur. Volunteering at Score will help me to give back to the community.
