About Bret

To satisfy your curiosity, I want to tell you a little bit about myself.

Bret Maukonen

Probably most significant is that I derive great satisfaction from helping others. My activities—whether in industry, business, education or the community—have the theme of service.

I have enjoyed a number of rewarding opportunities to work, learn and grow. My own working life has been as a manager in industry, retail business and education; as a leader in community and non-profit organizations. I have been self-employed, assisted in new business start ups, rejuvenated and rationalized underachieving operations.

Drawing upon work and educational experiences, I am able to relate, with understanding and through developed sensitivities, to a wide range of people.

When I listen to you and work with your agenda, it is likely that your story will strike a resonant note.
