“I enjoy helping entrepreneurs identify a problem and connect them with the right sources to solve their problem,” said Church. “Networking is vital for the success of any business, which is why I encourage it.”
Church has been advising small business owners for years, but just recently went through the process to become a SCORE mentor. In this role, Church joins 11,000 + diverse volunteers throughout the nation who are dedicated to helping small businesses succeed.
Entrepreneurs who are advised by Church benefit greatly from his business knowledge. After 50 years of owning and managing multiple companies, Church’s business skills and expertise include sales management, marketing, networking, business development and profit growth.
