| Introduction | I have known since I was 5 that my passions lay in both business and film. Toward these ends, I earned my bachelor’s degree in film from Boston University and MBA from the University of Southern California. After 35 years in financial management both in the Fortune 500 and small business, including three entrepreneurial ventures, I spent several years studying financial planning. In 2019 I made the decision it is no longer a good fit for my objectives. I am retired now and dividing my time between managing my own portfolio, blogging and returning to my first love - fiction writing. |
