In 2002, I made the very difficult decision to close my company, Archwood, Inc. of Wooster, Ohio where for 20 years we were engaged in the business of making, restoring, and repairing wood furniture, as well as production woodworking. It has always been important to me that businesses recognize the role that they play in the life of the community. Archwood, Inc. had a strong sense of social mission and I decided after closing the business that this next phase of my life would be one in which I work to further corporate citizenship. As a result, I enrolled at the University of Akron, and obtained a degree (August, 2005) in Philosophy, Political Science and Economics - P/P/E - as well as a minor in Business Administration, all with a personal emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility.
