      After a 45-year career in advertising, public relations and marketing communications, I am retired. To be more accurate, I am on an extended sabbatical to explore what's next. Perhaps I will decide retirement is the life for me. Perhaps it will be part-time work. Perhaps it will be a return to coaching or maybe even teaching. Perhaps it will be something altogether new. I look forward to the adventure..
