City / State / Zip / Country: Northern, California, 95219, United States
My profession: Advertising, Mktg., & Communications
About my work: Got my start in Brand Management with Warner-Lambert handling its Confectionery and Personal Products lines in Latin America (Schick razors, Lubriderm lotion, Bubblicious, etc.) specializing in new product launches. Did a little photo freelancing for UPI for fun (remember them?). Moved back to the States after a very close call with Maoist terrorists in Peru. Spent two great years building Shamu's street cred at Sea World of Florida then capped it off with 13 years at Nissan, four of them focused on helping launch their brand new Infiniti Division. And then three more as Nissan's first e-Business Manager.

I chose this occupation because: it provides me with a creative outlet in spite of my inability to draw, paint, sculpt, sing. Every day presents new and exciting challenges. And vanquishing them is exhilarating.
The best lesson I ever learned was: Living in the truth uncomplicates my life tremendously.
The greatest influence on my work is: Hernando Conwi. That's a joke, son!
