Professional Summary

Objective: Return to original field of Sales Engineering.


Results-oriented, strategic sales professional with six years in the Sales Engineering field, selling Hewlett-Packard electronic instrumentation.


I was responsible for selling a product line of thousands of electronic instruments, from simple voltmeters to highly sophisticated data acquisition systems. In my last year at HP, I had a quota of $1 million, and I sold over $2 million.


After more than six years, I left HP and went to work for non-profits, because of my passion to improve the direction of mankind. For many years, I've been dedicated to fund-raising and organizing for non-profits.

I've raised over $5.3 million for these organizations, and affiliated foundations and institutes. The involved public speaking, as well as phone work, and many face-to-face meetings.


I also have had extensive experience as an IT Manager.


I am now returning to the Sales Engineering field, because I am not being compensated in the non-profit area at a level I can sustain.
