What's New: A few things have changed since the 20-year class reunion.
After nine productive years contributing to Reno's cultural
profile, I decided to leave my position as Executive
Director of the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts.
I am now co-owner of Realife Marketing, an advertising and
public relations firm founded by my wonderful wife,
Jacqueline (a former advertising executive), back in 1997.
She started the company after our first son, Noah, was born.
Noah is now 2½ years old. Experiencing Noah's growth first
hand, every day has been a clear joy for her while building
the new business. I was so taken by the positive change in
her lifestyle, that last December I decided to do the same
thing when our son, William, was born.
Our firm handles more than a dozen clients, mostly local,
including a car dealership, property development, a few
state agencies, the Nevada State Fair, Coca-Cola, Habitat
For Humanity, the National Automobile Museum and a few more.
It's interesting work, but quite a different experience
when chasing kids around every few minutes between phone
calls. Being a husband-wife team also requires offices at
opposite ends of the house. However, it sure beats the
stress and inflexible 14-hour days, including weekend
matinees and evening performances at the Arts Center.
If you have the means to start your own business, I highly
recommend it -- it's hard work, but very satisfying. |
