I'm a writer who loves problem solving and who finds that structure promotes creativity and success. I believe that beauty, rather than the devil, is in the details--whether it's the nuance found in a lovely glass of wine or the challenge of getting a project exactly right.

I apply these philosophies whole-heartedly to professional and personal projects. I am most proud of my work at Far Niente, where I leverage written communication to introduce people to our brands and enhance existing relationships. Managing website and print design, social media, e-commerce, and e-mail campaigns continually keeps me on my toes, and I love that the standards and technology is ever-changing.

If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would continue what I've been doing in my spare time: working on a selection of short stories and non-fiction pieces. And I would support to a much greater degree he causes that are near and dear to my heart. I'm no statistician but I know winning the lottery is unlikely--so I chip away at my personal projects and non-profit support as I can.

Most of all, I am grateful to live in the Napa Valley, where I was born. I've lived in many places and have traveled the world but my heart keeps bringing me back to this special corner of the globe.
