What got you into this business in the first place?

I was always a wizard with words and it seemed like a natural place to apply my talent.

Who was a big influence in your career?

My mother.  She was an English teacher and a stickler for grammar. Seeing a sign that said, for example, Baking At It’s Best would drive her crazy.  (If you can name all the mistakes, you probably studied with her.)

What was "your finest moment," the thing you're most proud of?

My two sons, although that is happily more than one moment.

Do you have a method for coming up with ideas and solutions for clients?

I read everything I can on client and industry; and then sleep on it.  In the morning, ideas flow.

What is your motto?

On to the next thing.
