Interests While I was privileged to lead a successful advertising, design and marketing business for much of my career, in recent years my attention has turned to the art that is created in our community and around the world – whether visual, musical, or performance. I also never take for granted how fortunate I am to live and work in Laguna Beach. I am an active member of the arts community, a dedicated patron of Laguna Beach businesses, and am committed to the well-being of our residents (as noted by my Laguna Beach Community Emergency Response Team certification).
