As a family owned company for 50 years, MMI was the world's largest mushroom farm with a work force of 1300 employees organized by the United Steelworkers of America.

I was asked to join the turnaround management team to direct the human resources and employment law functions of a very labor-intensive business with soaring benefit costs of over $6,000,000 annually. The productivity and profitability of this family business improved to such an extent that we attracted venture capital and as a management team, we purchased the business in 1989. Building on the successful acquisition, we took the company public. It was traded on the NASDAQ as Sylvan, Inc.
