Robert Gladd

A broadly and deeply skilled quantitative analyst and writer with more than two decades of experience spanning a breadth of technical and business domains, I am blessed to have acquired a wide range of effective analytical, technical, creative, communications, and leadership skills. I always seek to apply these in a value-adding, progressive organizational culture (e.g., TQM, Baldrige).

The current language of the Constitution extends full protection only to "persons born or naturalized" here, stating additionally that "nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
