Professional Summary

I love to speak. I speak at tradeshows in the retail industry, to writing clubs, writing conferences and more. I am a UCLA Extesnsion instructor in the writing department. I'm a little like Frank Sinatra--I've been a pawn, a poet, etc. Journalism. Publicity. Owned retail stores. Artist of sorts. Heck, now I'm even building website.
