I've worn many hats in my life. My formal education and original intent were to establish a career as a professional journalist. Although there were many respected journalists back in the day, I saw faint writing on the wall indicating that journalism was about to mutate into exploitainment, and I wanted no part of it.

Ah, but I had to write.  So, I focused on marketing. . . and encountered deja vu. Perhaps an English Professorship. . .

The short story is that before I established any career, I met and married Gale, Hospitality's Golden Haired Boy, and we moved (often cross-country) about every eight months for the first five years of our marriage. Consequently, I enjoyed a smorgasbord of employment experiences ~ from selling cars (first woman in Wisconsin to do so) to my last position as Assistant to the President of the company that invented the implantable Radio Frequency transponder.

I retired from Corporate America in the early nineties (insanity isn't all bad) and dedicated my heart to my writing career, to understanding how life really works, and, most recently, to helping Gale build IBI Colorado.
