*Born during WW II, grew up in a fairly stable, moderately dysfunctional family, a product of the reasonably competent Denver school system and graduate of the University of Colorado – Boulder.

*Followed my heart instead of a career plan, leading me to a number of jobs: journalism, public relations, advertising and marketing, business brokerage, sales (including used cars), publishing, free-lancing and a few other things.

•Current interest is sharing with you what it’s like to be who we are? Where we are? and When*?
