I've worked in the pet industry for 18 years. I am active in social media relating to Pets, Palm Springs, Travel, Food, Wine and the gift industry. I've been author of a blog since 2006, and a radio show since 2010. I speak regularly at conferences and contribute my time to support causes and non-profit groups. In particular I have a soft spot for guide dogs. I'm also co-owner of MementoGiftShop.com a retail and e-commerce gift store, based in Palm Springs.
