I’m an author, blogger and retired marketing professional. I get a kick out of viewing past history through a present lens, and I write about brands, people and pop culture with an eye on history. My goal is to educate, inform and entertain through my articles 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've been a top writer in history, technology and food. Check out my lists of stories -- something is sure to catch your interest!

In addition to writing Medium articles, I write books and I blog. My latest book is "WORLD WAR BRANDS." My other books include "BOOMER BRANDS" and "BOOMER BRAND WINNERS AND LOSERS." If you're a Boomer, check out my blog: https://www.happilyrewired.com
