Over the past 37 years, I have been fortunate to work with thousands of leaders, individually and in groups, as they sought to pursue excellence.  In 1998, I began to work exclusively with Business Owners and Business Leaders as they sought to achieve excellence through business.  Founded upon years of success in working with leaders, Excellence In Business, Inc. came into existence.  Our three primary businesses support specific considerations:

Family Business Advisers works to Sustain the Legacy, One Business at a Time, through Strategic Planning, Leader Team Development and Succession Strategies.

Excell strives to release the Power of Leader to Leader ™  through a proprietary process and creation of an environment through which business owners/leaders can take on their biggest opportunities and challenges.

In all that we do, we work with you to:

  • Discover what you really want and why
  • Determine where you are with candid and effective questions and observations 
  • Develop a plan to get you what you want
  • Do the work to support and encourage you in your pursuit of excellence through business

Our success in encouraging excellence in business and success through succession has been internationally recognized.  As one of the Northwest’s most Trusted group of Advisers, we are able to Ask profound Questions, Make relevant Observations and work with you to Navigate to your desired success.
