Howard Rutstein is a teacher, salesperson, author, father, and an avid runner. As a teacher, (also a salesperson) he has educated middle, high school and adult English language learners. He has participated in many summer school enrichment programs, tutored middle and high school students under all types of circumstances whether they be physical, emotional or environmental and has contributed in the compilation of a summer program curriculum for the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) for his school system. His interest then turned to writing about his father and the art of selling correctly, which in turn led to this treatise. As a salesperson he began his sales career in the early 1970's being taught by the "Legendary Master Million Dollar Salesman" himself Oscar "Blackie" Rutstein (1922 - 2002), his wonderful father. He then realized his own potential when joining a top company, the former Romie's Carpet, located north of Boston, Massachusetts.
