Export Mentor Program

We've been accepted into the King County Export Mentor Program. We've been assigned a mentor (we're the protege). He looks like a homerun to me! Here's a bit from his resume (I wish I knew how to do accents). I'll leave out his name to give him a bit of anonymity. Over the next year, he'll be helping us plan and execute an exporting strategy.
