About
I’m an international optimization and strategy consultant with 20+ years of reengineering existing operations into holistic, highly profitable ecosystems. Owners, startup teams, and public agencies count on my ability to transform cutting edge technology—from circular recycling platforms to renewable water- and energy-generation solutions—into profitable endeavors for new and existing markets. I founded and lead The GTZ Group, in Phoenix, AZ, to serve the wider West Coast, where the Sonoran Desert meets the Pacific Ocean. My expertise spans multiple industries, including consulting, renewable energy, and custom woodworks.
