After teaching high school students English, History, Speech and Drama in the

for studying the challenges of management and leadership. He then became an
executive with Richardson – Vicks, a global healthcare company, where he held
various executive management responsibilities in sales, marketing, and global
manufacturing from 1972 until 1977. During this phase of his career, Jim enjoyed
coaching baseball and refereeing high school and college football and
basketball.
In 1977, he founded an international management training and consulting firm,
the GMP Institute, and grew it to be the world leader in helping food, drug and
medical device manufacturers embrace the challenge of not just complying with
the Food and Drug Administration’s Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Regulation,
but making it a value-adding “Management Lifestyle”.
From 1977 until 2001, Jim and the GMP Institute team traveled the world as they
provided management consulting services, developed and conducted GMP training
workshops, and performed management audits that positively influenced the
business performance and results of over 5,000 healthcare manufacturing
organizations in all 50 United States, Puerto Rico and over 70 countries.
GMP Institute clients included many large and small businesses, as well as the
Food and Drug Administration. The GMP Institute was privileged to work with
major healthcare manufacturing organizations such as Procter & Gamble,
GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Sanofi – Aventis, AstraZeneca,
Novartis, Bristol Myers Squibb, Merck, Abbott Laboratories, Eli Lilly,
Kimberly-Clark, Baxter Healthcare, Amgen, Biogen, 3M and the American Red Cross,
just to name a few.
Over the past 35+ years, Jim has designed and implemented performance training
and certification strategies for Managers, Trainers, Auditors, Salespersons,
