My Story
I was born in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in Royal Oak, Michigan. I moved to California in 1983 and have lived there since.
I enjoyed reading while growing up, but I was a talker. I loved to make people laugh by telling jokes, doing various impressions of people and voices. At the same time I knew I could teach as well, or bring humor to various stories.
My first book, 11 Strategies To Mastering the College Athletic Recruiting Process was a labor of love and the byproduct of my oldest son’s desire to play baseball in college. That was all I needed to embark on significant research and develop the book and create the Top Student Athletes program and website (www.topstudentathletes.com)
Abigail Mails A Snail is the direct result of a silly conversation with my granddaughters one day. That was all I needed to craft the book.
I’ve had the good fortune to participate in the critically acclaimed, highly regarded, award winning, and wonderfully thought provoking Web Series titled “Hijab” by Eric Smith-Gunn. Eric is an amazing writer, director, and producer and I’m honored to be a part of such a significant show and topic.
I started and host the “Paying It Forward” podcast where today’s Senior Executives express and teach, through the podcast, what it takes for young people to succeed today and in their future endeavors.
Finally, I have and continue to speak to various size groups on numerous topics and it is an honored to have presented or spoken over 500 times.
