I was born in Schenectady, NY and found my way to the valley via skiing, and family living in Vermont and Canada.
Eventually, I bought a condo at Mountainside in the "80's for all of my family to enjoy as a getaway. My sister and I retired in the late ' 90's
and we sold our homes in downstate NY and built a home in Warren, VT.
I now enjoy working in oils and acrylic paintings and drawing "cowtoons", things I really didn't have much time for in the corporate world.
My professional life could best be described as “Slide rules to Lipsticks". I transitioned from marketing and selling electrical engineering
instruments to doing the same thing with personal products such as skin care, hair care, cosmetics and fragrances. The major
companies I worked for were General Electric, Eastman Kodak, and Sterling Drug. They all gave me an opportunity for many years
to engage in national and international activities and travel. First Class travel at that!
Joining MRV Rotary was an opportunity to join the larger community in the MRV and to continue using my skills for everyone's benefit. I enjoy staying here for the four seasons and being able to stay in one place and not having to catch a plane early in the morning!!!
