Work with Me

A little backstory…

I am constantly looking for ways to grow and improve myself and experience the world around me. I believe in self-education, so I never stop learning and I thoroughly enjoy sharing those experiences and knowledge with others.

One of my son-in-laws recently told me that second only to my five children, I am expert in connecting with people and exploring the fine commodities of life. That made me realize that not only is my lifestyle evident but clearly that needed to be the defining cornerstone of my blog: travel, food and cooking, fine wine and exciting and adventurous activities.

There are many ways that I enjoy partnering with brands to enlighten my readers, engage them in new experiences and show them new products that will enrich their lives. Some ways that I connect with others:

  • Sponsored Destination Experiences
  • Sponsored Resort Promotions
  • Brand Ambassadorships
  • Sponsored Posts
  • Motivational Speaker Engagements
  • Event Appearances and Coverage
  • Guest Posting

I am always open to new experiences and opportunities so if there is an out of the box idea that you have been toying with pitching to a writer/blogger, please reach out so that we can create something new and exciting for my readers and your customers.

I’ve been writing since I was a child and my excitement and exuberance is evident in my writing. My spirit is highly contagious. In a previous career, my knowledge and understanding secured literal billions of dollars in funding for the small businesses and large corporations I consulted with.

My five children have an age spread of seven years and five months, so I have a lifetime of experience in juggling a million things at once. If there is an easier or more efficient way to manage something, I found it by trial and error. If there’s a better or longer lasting product, I found it by necessity. Planning annual ski vacations for 18 people, no problem. Planning a cross country flight and a 6,000+ mile RV trek for fourteen people, piece of cake. Surviving that trip and bringing all the young teenagers home alive with all limbs intact, I’ll admit to patting myself on the back!

I have consulted with hundreds of brands in the past including the following:

  • Marriott, Richard Sandoval Hospitality, Goodwin Hospitality Group
  • Landry’s Inc., Clyde’s and Old Ebbitt Grill, Sweetwater Tavern, Gordon Biersch, American Tap Room, Uncle Julio’s and countless others
  • Best Buy, The Container Store, Verizon Wireless
  • AMF Bowling, Regal Cinemas
  • Paper Source, Papyrus
