A Professional Communicator

I've 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 freelance writer. Since I own a pharmacist recruitment firm, I can write whenever I please, and I am writing more frequently these days on a variety of topics.

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.

It is a story about faith, hope, love and charity.

The story reflects my interest in living life to the fullest by experiencing more than just the physical world we see everyday.

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. Millions more Baby Boomers are turning 50-years-old every year and very few older worker...
