Professional Experience
After several years in local TV, I decided to move to Italy for a year where I got a Master's degree in Communicating Quality Products from the University of Gastronomic Sciences. Since my return to the states I have created a wine brokering business while writing freelance on the side. Mainly my focus is restaurants and the local wine scene, but with my experience in TV, I have been called upon for a number of interviews, particularly with local TV people.
