Projects

  • Mentoring Early-Career Individuals

    -

    I provide advice and guidance to racially and socio-economically diverse young adults early in their careers, encouraging and facilitating their professional development and connecting them with potentially helpful information and individuals.

    These interactions — many of which come about through my sons (young adults, themselves) and their network of friends and associates — are an enormously rewarding way for me to give back a little of what I've been given in my own career.

    More a vocation than a project at the time, starting and running my own restaurant, Mangia Mangia Gourmet, in the mid-to-late 1990s made for an always-interesting experience that taught me lessons that continue to inform my business instincts and acumen and impel my "give-back" impulses today.

    Effectively operating a startup, planning and executing every operational aspect from the ground up and from the front of the house to the back, I learned how to create a premium experience for my customers and employees and contribute to my surrounding communities — skills eminently transferrable to my work at Cisco and worth every day I dedicated to this passion project.
