One of the best compliments I ever received was from a dear friend who told me how much he loved that I could go from baiting my own hook to hailing a cab in stilettos in the same day....I blend and adapt well in both the rural life as well as city life. Born in New Jersey, raised in Coastal Maine, and well traveled, I have spent most of my adult life in the NYC area. I always introduce northern New Jersey as the perfect center point....less than an hour from one of the most vibrant cities in the world, the beautiful Jersey Shore, the exhilarating Appalachian Trail and Delaware Water Gap....from horse back riding to deep sea fishing, from seeking the perfect peak to seeking the perfect martini in Soho....from country fairs and farmers markets to rooftop bars and the finest dining...it is all here. My friends, colleagues and clients are just as diverse. Having been a business owner for many years, and having started or rebuilt businesses from the bottom up, I have a unique perspective and depth of understanding that allows my approach and technique with small business owners and artists to be successful on many levels. Currently residing in West Milford, NJ, writing my first non fiction book, and enjoying a little break from owning a brick and mortar business, I spend my free time exploring, learning more about all kinds of things that peak my interest, and entertaining.
