Thirty some years in manufacturing and sourcing products and running the businesses that designed, developed, marketed, wholesale and Retail to the National and International markets.

I have read extensively and studied economics on the micro and macro level for thirty years and am very committed to a regulated free market with as little government interference in price as possible.

What I am looking for is a person who is real. I do not appreciate an excellent academic presentation with multi-charts, graphs and spreadsheets unless the business concept is real. What strikes me as real is an idea for a product or service that makes some common sense. That product or service has to have some sustainable competitive advantage-- for example, the creative genius of the
principal(s).

I am looking for a business plan that shows potential to grow and to employ people, not one that will create a living for the principal only. It also has to work in Humboldt County with all of its challenges to business.
