Actually in February or March, I will be looking for a part time position. 3 days a week, a 4th if I have appointments or feel the need to accomplish a task or performance level. I don't need a job, but I want a job. I never had plans on retiring. I got lucky and was able to sell my business and now I want to do the next thing. Doesn't need or have to be automotive, wide open to possibilities. I'm not looking to be an owner or a GM and don't expect those type of financial rewards. I was a GM for 3 years and an owner for 43. I'm also not looking to cruise or a place to hang my hat (I don't wear one). I want to bring value, I want to help some company to do better. I want the value that I bring to be way more than expected. If not, we shake hands and move on. I can't do anything overnight but within 6 months we'd both know if there's value. And again, if not, on we go. I'm not retired and I'm not tired. (I just signed up for the Pittsburgh Marathon next May). Tremendous Automotive Experience... But wide open to almost anything... Attributes: enthusiasm, attitude, work ethic, motivator.
