I am a natural product industry retail veteran, enjoying my 20th anniversary in this industry.  I am also a college professor and have an extensive background teaching Business Strategy, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Economics and Organizational Behavior.  I write from both of these points of background.  Leveraging experience and insight I provide analysis and commentary to stimulate questions and discussion about trends and happenings in the natural products world and in society, and how they affect the natural products retailer.
