Multi-faceted but mostly sales & marketing.
After the Air Force, I worked as a lineman for the major power company in Denver while going to college on the GI Bill. After graduating with degree in Marketing, went to work listing and selling land south and east of Denver. Managed a series of successful companies before finally owning two Coldwell Banker Commercial offices. Always focused on large parcels of farm & ranch and commercial real estate. Also did several land development projects, alone or with partners. During deep recessions of 1979-'80 and 1989-'92 brokered corporate aircraft in addition to real estate broker duties.
Changed careers in 2003 into Marina Operations & Management, which is what I do today. Looking at moving to Panama soon.
