About Me:: I'm an insufferable punster with lightning-quick wit and super-stealth ninja skills. I eat way too much pasta, and love the kind of beer that always seems to go flat before I get to it. I talk to my cat like she understands me, which I probably wouldn't do if she didn't actually understand me. When I'm not fighting crime, I have fifteen years' experience in marketing, and in marketing the smaller folks so they can make just as much of a splash as the big fish, no matter the size of the pool. And, I like cheese.

A passion for positive and healthy living without being a "nut", I try to live each day seeing the bright side with a dose of humor. With lengthy experience in marketing, I've found that I've always been drawn to promoting the cause of the small business owner.

My Ideal Customer is:: :: a business looking to advertise to business owners
:: a non-profit or corporate client that needs a planner to help them execute their events and meetings, from simply taking photos or creating an itinerary all the way to the whole kit and caboodle.

My Ideal Referral Partner is:: :: Business owners or suppliers that have articles sharing business advice or experience

:: Those who work with HR/Corporate/NonProfit/Association clients in any capacity

Who referred you to inSide919?: Dave Baldwin, the Introverted Entrepreneur!!!!
