How I can help

My professional background

I trained as a dentist (Columbia '83), spent half my career founding, buying and administering dental practices and working as a clinical dentist. Spent the other half of my career founding, developing and running a number of non-dental businesses such as a managed care company (where ROI was 10,000% over 6 years), a custom car manufacturing company, a restaurant, club, Canadian discounted medical plan, and a consultancy providing services to the state of NY, local counties and individual corporations. I would like to share my passion and experience in building new businesses with an entrepreneur who is looking to start a business. I am most proud of having raised a wonderful family, helping those in need, and going from rags to riches.


How to work with me

What I can offer

I typically assist in initial business planning, determining the type of entity that would be best suited, company mission statement and goals, developing financial pro formas, assessing staff requirements, budgeting, regulatory compliance, financial analysis, raising capital through debt and equity, and debt restructuring. I work with startups, early stage companies, and established businesses that may be facing difficulties. I currently run a private family asset management firm with investments in equities, fixed income, real estate, private lending and early stage investing with interests in diverse businesses.
