In 1998 I happened to read an article about "professional organizing" that intrigued me. Around the same time, I was reassessing my career. With my eclectic technical, business, and managerial background and experience--thirty years in the computer, construction, financial, and career management industries--I’ve always loved organizing “stuff,”
such as organizing information for a licensing audit and recovering $2 million to a computer company, or organizing a $23 million construction project and reducing paper volume by 75%.
As I did my research, I knew I wanted to combine my business background and skills to teach busy professionals good organizing and time management skills that would lead to better habits. There’s no cookie cutter system of organizing--each client is different--and I love solving puzzles. The result? As an objective third party, I ask the pertinent questions to create the solutions that work for you.
