Then I worked at a PR agency, followed by 15 years in the nonprofit world, mostly in healthcare communication.

I am currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor for the University of Maryland University College, teaching an online course in Public Relations Theory. My wife and I are retired and living in North Carolina with our three rescue cats, Abigail, Anastasia and Prudence.
