Prior to relocating to Denver in 1984 I worked in New York City in the publishing and advertising industries. I served as production editor, copy editor and freelance writer for various Ziff-Davis travel industry publications. A career change brought me to Madison Avenue and Doyle Dane Bernbach, Inc., (DDB) then known as one of the leading "creative" ad agencies in the world. At DDB I served as Account Executive for clients such as Paine Webber, American Greetings, Sherwin Williams Paint and Speedy Muffler King. Upon arrival in Denver I joined forces with Grand American, Inc. where I continue in my role of Asset Manager, providing property management and commercial leasing services for the company's portfolio of historic office buildings. For a change of pace I indulge my love of words with occasional freelance writing assignments and novel and short story writing.
