Earl enjoys helping small and medium-sized businesses apply technology to solve business challenges. He brings 40+ years of industry experience in business process automation including manufacturing, research & development, product quality, master data, program management, enterprise architecture, software selection & implementation, application design, and team development. He has facilitated many large and small groups focused on achieving personal and business growth, maximizing business value, and making intelligent use of technology.

He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Management from the University of Akron in 1981 and retired from The J.M Smucker Company in 2016, after a very successful 30-year career in Information Services. Before Smucker, he held positions in Manufacturing and Tire Division Systems at The General Tire & Rubber Company (GenCorp), and was an intern at General Motors.

Earl believes that all technology investments in business should either grow sales, reduce costs or improve quality; and, ideally all three. He welcomes opportunities to help business leaders organize, clarify and simplify strategies that make smart use of technology and maximize business value.

He embraces two principles that are critical to success:

  • A Common Understanding of Shared Assumptions and Aligned Expectations
  • Trusted Relationships with Clarity of Roles and Responsibilities

These principles apply to technology ventures as well as all aspects of life.
