: About Me

A Professional Communicator

I am a marketing communications executive who has won awards as a broadcast journalist and a marketing communications professional. I have also managed teams of communication professionals as a marketing executive with two Fortune 500 companies. As head of my own marketing communications firm, I created the innovative Online Press Release Factory.

Writing has always been a big part of my life and now I am engaging my passion as a college writing instructor, a freelance writer and a voice talent. 

One of my best work experiences was serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer (Ethiopia 1973 - 75) teaching English and managing a famine relief warehouse for the U.N. during and after Haile Selassie's reign.

A Budding Novelist

My first novel, A TIME TO... , has been hailed as "A GREAT new spiritual book!" by the Anglo-Catholic News Service. Midwest Book Review has rated it "Five Stars" and more accolades arrive weekly since it was published as a paperback in February, 2011. The story reflects my interest in living life to the fullest by experiencing more than just the physical world we see everyday. It is a baby boomer's spiritual adventure on 9/11 that confirms that faith, hope, love and charity survived that horrific tragedy.

2 of 16

Age discrimination in the American workplace is a dirty little secret that may not stay one for much longer. In spite of existing laws that forbid it, last year 24,582 workers had claimed their employers discriminated against them in charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. 1 With our aging population, it is not surprising that this number is growing rapidly. In the last ten years, it increased 62 percent; up from 15,785. But, these numbers are really just the tip of the iceberg.
