My SOLID BUSINESS SKILLS will be an essential asset to the Sycamore Board.
Prior to college, I acquired valuable work experience in accounting and administration.  
Following graduation with a business degree from The Ohio State University (Cum
Laude), I was a commercial loan officer for Bank One, now a part of Chase Bank,
calling on the small business market in Cincinnati.  In 1988 I joined Johnson Group, Inc.
as Vice President of Corporate Affairs with responsibility for health and safety programs,
insurance, communications and event planning.  Additionally, I supervised the office
staff.

I currently work in our family business, Cole Realty Associates.  We develop
commercial real estate, and have two projects underway: a 52,000 square foot
office/warehouse and a 10,000 square foot retail center.  I am responsible for
accounting, insurance, general administration, and I assist with leasing and marketing.
