Melissa Summers

Melissa Summers is a writer living just outside Detroit with her cat who is, frankly, kind of an asshole.

She has been featured in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Detroit News and Free Press (where they published her phone number on the front page) among others.

She also went on the Today Show to tell America she thinks it's okay to have a glass of wine while your kids play together.

Turns out America does not entirely agree.

Her website, SuburbanBliss, launched in 2003, when her children were quite a bit smaller and she was a lot less experienced at the whole mom gig. Her kids are young adults now and really fun people.

Now she works as Technology Change Management Lead at a biotechnology firm in Portland, Maine. She's helping drive smoother adoption of rapidly changing technology with as little negative business impact as possible.
