He also completed the AEA Executive Institute at Stanford University.
Struwe will offer professional counseling to persons wanting to start
or expand a small business. "One of the aspects of the job that
appeals to me most is being able to help people," said Struwe. "My

Solutions, Inc. of Dallas, both which reclaimed silicon wafers for
the semiconductor industry.

SBDC Director Pat Bell said of Struwe, "Jim's experience makes him
uniquely qualified to help people wishing to start a new business as
well as those in business wanting to grow and expand." Strewe's
expertise includes taxation, both state and federal, accounting and
