About Me: I owned and operated a wine and food store for almost a decade. I wrote a newsletter and a blog, gave wine and food pairings, created a wine dinner club and visited over 500 wineries. I founded, owned and operated a small high-tech start up, with extensive experience in writing proposals and winning SBIR grants. I hold a Ph.D. in Physics and was a certified tennis professional (USPTA). I founded the Choice Wines Project and have given seminars on Non-Alcoholic Beverages.
A Bit More About Me: I am passionate about cooking and food. I love learning new cooking techniques and developing new recipes. I am very active, walking, hiking, playing pickleball, working out in my home gym, doing one or more activities daily. I enjoy helping small businesses progress in any way I can.
