Business Columnist

It has been both an honor and a privilege to submit business columns to the Detroit News, Oakland Business Review, Ann Arbor Business Review, and The Michigan Front Page.

My readers have assured me that my choice of topics resonate with their organizational experiences. All the columns I have written are available on this web site. The articles can be purchased for reprint in your local newspapers, association newsletters, Internet E-Zines, Daily Blogs and other venues that suit your communication needs.

Look for a new posting of a downloadable online column every second Monday.  If you wish to reprint or distribute my online column, please contact me.

You can read my columns by clicking on the articles of interest.
