A writer and marketing communications professional with impeccable credentials...

Raised and educated in the Boston area, my career has taken me throughout North America and Europe, developing great relationships with companies and executives here and in Scandinavia, Europe, the United Kingdom, the Benulux countries, India, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.

My businesss background also includes key roles in industry trade associations in the USA and Europe, which always instilled in me an appreciation of the "big picture" and respect for my competitors.

After leaving the corporate world, I relocated to pursue other interests in historic Durango, Colorado, a jewel in the spectacular San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado. 

The following is a brief synopsis of my career and related activities:
