Welcome to my personal page. Here are some thoughts that might illustrate a little about who I am.

What makes me tick? 
Helping people gain information and the skills to use it. I guess that's why I'm passionate about both Marketing and Education.  

Accomplishemtns I'm proudest of:
Gaining market share for Pepsi over Coke in Mexico, getting ele cted to the Newburyport School Committee and raising 3 great kids.     

Most Exciting Jobs I've held:
Vice President of Marketing at Jafra Cosmetics, because of the amount of motivational speaking and the fun nature of the products. Vice President Business Development for Muzzy Lane Software because of the contact with educators; a perfect blend of education and marketing!

Where you'll most likely find me on a Saturday afternoon:
Cooking up a storm with Brahms or Chopin playing in the background. My friends say my specialty is Mexican food, but I honestly enjoy cooking something for the first time the most.

What I have been reading:
For work, Disrupting Class by Clayton Christensen (...again, it's really good) and Horace Mann's Annual Reports on Education (great history.) For pleasure, David Baldacci's Stone Cold .
