Born in San Francisco, I grew up in Lucas Valley (Marin County) 15 years then lived in New Jersey (between Princeton and Trenton) for 3 years finishing high school. After graduation, chose to live in Bozeman, Montana (close to Yellowstone National Park and the Big Sky Ski Resort) and attend Montana State University, earning degrees.

Following graduation, I lived in Marin for 6 years, continuing Multimedia studies, working. I lived in Santa Rosa, of Sonoma County, the "Heart of the Wine Country" for over a decade, working and attending a quality college for additional post-graduate studies.

Throughout my MSU studies I was an Honors student and a member of various respected Honors clubs and groups (see resume). The summer of sophomore year, I flew back to my home in Marin to live with my Mother, and I started my "Collegiate Landscaping" business.

For two weeks I worked in the homes of people in the community. One of my clients was Wayne Freedman, a News Broadcaster for ABC-Television in San Francisco. Mr. Freedman felt that I did a superb job on his yard, and admired my business demeanor. He had me meet the Human Resources for the station; there I gained an Internship in ABC-Television's Research and Sales Departments.

In the following two years at MSU, while I was studying, I worked for Extended Systems, Inc. doing "in-house computer networking" sales and, gained an internship at Smith Barney Shearson, Inc. There, I was hired to interview the Financial Consultants and compile a branch brochure for their local office. While continuing my studies and working at two different businesses, I was a campus tour guide and a Teacher's Assistant.

Considering my ongoing quality GPA and commendable scholastic achievements, the semester before graduation, the College Of Business awarded me a scholarship that paid for a flight anywhere in the USA for preliminary interviews. I chose to fly back to my hometown in the Bay Area and be interviewed at Silicon Graphics, LucasArts, Intel, Tandem Computers, Ketchum Advertising, McKesson Communications, Levi Strauss and Clorox and, all of the interviews went well.

Two months following the summer of '92, when I was in Bozeman Montana on a second date with another student, I had a large automobile accident and suffered a head injury. Considering my Honors GPA and the fact that I was an undergraduate student, widely known on campus by professors and students, while I was recuperating, my professors gathered and decided that I had earned a degree; I flew back to the college after the last hospital.

To attend the MSU College Of Business commencement, Ted Turner and Jane Fonda traveled from the Turner Ranches (Livingston MT), and presented themselves, to give a speech and offer funds to the school. When I walked across stage to receive my diploma, there was a standing ovation and, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing with a Minor in Communication.

After obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Business (Marketing Option) along with a Minor in Communication from MSU, I broadened my education studying multimedia (Applied Graphics, Desktop Publishing, Art, Multimedia, and web design) at Santa Rosa Junior College and College of Marin, while doing a reasonable amount of work, while rehabilitating.

With regards to my 20 years of college studies and degrees that accompany two certificates (relating to visual media composition and presentation) I have undertaken a variety of post-graduate studies and work in local businesses, I have expanded my knowledge of various programs that are applicable to corporate establishments and gained additional skill and knowledge of Multimedia and HTML, in pursuit of an occupation that relates to promotion, advertising or marketing.

Over the decades of "rehabilitation", I enjoyed the opportunity to develop my skills in project coordination, client services, problem solving and negotiating. I enjoy working with others, applying my studies and abilities, seeking an opportunity where my experience, initiative and dedication to both personal and organizational goals will be valued.
