Why I Do What I Do: 
Communications and education are the basis for building bridges between nations, governments, communities, companies, people and individuals.  Marketing and PR activities (and I don’t mean the slick ‘spin’ of some campaigns either) seek those bridges and can create a link between people as only a few other activities (music and art are two examples) can.

Favorite Promotional Campaign: 
This changes almost daily, but I think Bill and Caroline Slowsky, the Comcast turtles, are great. Target commercials are also very clever.

Latest Accomplishment: I don’t look at life as a series of accomplishments, although doing a good job, being healthy and happy could certainly count as accomplishments.  I look at life as a string of pearls.  Adding a pearl to the strand every day is my goal.
