- just interested, others (see below)
- About me / us
- I am fifty-two, worked in many fields, studied many more. I am a writer, artist, and strategic thinker with a unique twist of practicality and uncanny creativity. Expertise in research, design, creative problem solving, advertising, marketing management, political campaign management, industrial/retail sales.
- My / our projects, events, campaigns, research, publications
- Not much to say, most everything has been said by someone, somewhere, sometime. School never got in the way of my education and I am a strong proponent of deep understanding through reading comprehension and self-education. I believe I am a better helper than visionary leader. I can research the problem, create alternatives and figure out how to make it happen and organize the process. I know what I know and that isn't really much considering the scale of the whole. If you have an idea or a project and need help in working out the kinks... drop me an email and I will see what I can do to help.
