A graduate of Oberlin College and Conservatory, majoring in Philosophy and Broadcast Journalism, first-born of six to brilliant parents, my DNA and work ethic forced me to work my ass off to find myself. :) My 38 years of experience leading an international corporation and chairing multiple associations provides the foundation for Sam’s high-stakes professional world and her "fixer" mentality. But maybe I did what I did because I laminated a Jack London quote when I was 15, and carried with me all my life... "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
