About Me
I am a content marketer, writer, musician and songwriter living in Mission Viejo, California. In a professional career that has spanned parts of five decades, I have pivoted on many occasions, from investment banking to pharmaceuticals, from consumer electronics to SaaS software. One constant throughout my career path, however, has been storytelling.
My latest project has been writing The Indy 500: A Year-Long Quest to Win the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, coming to booksellers everywhere on May 6, 2025 from Morgan James Publishing. It's my third book from Morgan James, joining the best-seller Immaculate: How the Steelers Saved Pittsburgh and my cancer-patient memoir, Me, Myself & My Multiple Myeloma.
Over the years, I've frequently been a source for quotes from the national media on both the consumer electronics and retail industries, and I have spun my fair share of yarn as a contributor to a number of online outlets, including articles for Yahoo, where I published articles about the San Jose Sharks hockey team, and Salesforce AppExchange, where I wrote about sales and marketing.
A cancer fighter every day of the week that ends in a ‘y,’ I serve as a passionate advocate for patients and caregivers. We're all in this together, and we all get something. It's an honor to be a resource.
Finally, with life’s soundtrack constantly playing in my head, I also perform and record with my two-piece acoustic band, the Chronic Padres.
My Community
I'm extraordinarily grateful for my blessed tribe. When I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2019, my personal and professional networks gave me such a tremendous source of power and strength. It's one thing going into a fight knowing you have your tribe behind you. It's something altogether more empowering knowing you have your tribe right alongside you!
I thrive off connections and community. Please reach out. Let's build our community together.
Join My Journey
If not now, when? We don't know how many tomorrows we have, so let's squeeze every second out of the clock today. Let's take advantage of our opportunities, and wear today out. And, as we go to sleep at night, let's give tomorrow a figurative tap on the shoulder and let it know it's next!
