I’m an author, blogger and retired marketing professional. I get a kick out of viewing past history through a present lens. I write about music, film, pop culture, brands and more. I also focus on topics of interest to Baby Boomers. Check out my Medium Lists for a wide variety of stories -- something is sure to catch your interest!

My goal is to educate, inform and entertain through my stories on Medium. I'm happy to engage with readers in lively conversations and I'll always respond to a comment on any of my stories. I consider frequent responders to be my Medium friends.

In addition to my Medium stories, you might find my books of interest. My latest book is "WORLD WAR BRANDS." My other books include "BOOMER BRANDS" and "BOOMER BRAND WINNERS AND LOSERS."
