I'm an entrepreneur by nature and an executive in practice. I founded ECRS in my early 20s, in 1989, with the simple vision that the microprocessor and software would transform retail, allowing local and regional retailers to not only compete, but win against their national competitors. I believe great companies are built one idea, one customer and one employee at a time. Like a great oak tree, it takes time to build a company that last, with deep cultural roots and consistent driving purpose and I've dedicated my career to building such a company.
