I owned a travel agency and began holding weekend seminars. I was 35 when I ended a bad marriage after ten years. I decided to set out to find my perfect mate and researched men and recorded my experiences.  I love to write and communicate, and so I decided to share my journey and lessons I learned along the way. I published my first book, 121 First Dates, which is a compilation of my dating adventures ending with Date Number 121, Dave, who is my life mate. 

Researching men, having frank discussions with them and attending events. I pursued my higher education at Vista College in Berkeley with a certificate in American Sign Language and Deaf Culture Studies.

The challenges I face now with modern technology are greater than the ones that I faced in the 1990's when I was in corporate America as a hotelier and travel agent. Everything now has a sense of urgency with a deadline of "now". Information technology and social media create an urgency for me to produce. 

I am uninhibited and will just do it. I get the job that I want to get done, done. I also have a great sense of humor and I am compassionate.

Among my greatest accomplishments are Dave, my life partner and 12 year marriage, and being published professionally. My book, 121 First Dates, is now in the hands of a major movie studio!

My goal is to reach more people and continue writing. I am also in the process of finishing my second book.

Dave inspires me the most. His support it unconditional, and he loves me for everything I am and everything I am not.

I want to be remembered as a woman who broke the rules and lived on her own terms, who always lived a life that honored her own integrity, and who was a great person that always meant well.
