I am a consulting management professional with over 20 years experience in the telecommunications industry. Graduating with honors from SUNY Albany I received a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Information Systems.

As a systems Engineer with EDS (now HP) I spent 8-years as a developer and consultant in the telecoms industry working on billing and provisioning systems for some of the largest and smallest Telcos in the world including ATT, LDDS Metromedia, MCI, Telmex (Mexico), Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) and Adam Wireless (Malaysia).

After a 1-year sabbatical in S.E. Asia, I founded Telestial, Inc. in 1999, the first company to offer and introduce local prepaid SIM cards and cell phone service to a global, traveling, online audience. The company was a huge success helping travelers reduce or eliminate exorbitant roaming fees often charged by the very carriers who provided our product. With dealerships from wireless carriers in over 70 countries, Telestial was able to provide travelers with wireless communication arbitrage at the consumer level. After almost a decade of independence Telestial was eventually acquired and found a home with the Jersey Telecom Group, where I currently direct off-island global retail sales efforts.

In addition to business development responsibilities at the JT Group I continue to remain active in this very dynamic industry, independently consulting for a variety of wireless carriers and retailers.
