“As early as age 10, I became fascinated with work and seeing how adults worked in my hometown, an industrial and forestry-oriented town on a river in central Maine. Then about business, including my family’s manufacturing company, which was built upon innovation. During college, I was attracted to Wall Street. These curiosities, along with a desire to build a nice family, brought me a rewarding personal life and multifaceted career with major corporations and small firms alike.”

Dana sums up, “My mission is to continue to bring fabulously unique training materials and professional assistance to individuals and organizations for the betterment of themselves, and ultimately society.”
