After 37 fulfilling years, I am retiring from the private practice of law effective June 1, 2025. My second career will focus on senior fitness, with an emphasis on dance fitness as a Zumba Gold instructor. Science has proven that dance is good for body, mind and soul.

My first words of advice in this capacity are for all of you who sit in front of a computer for hours on end — get up at least every hour and shake, shimmy, wiggle, stretch, walk, or do a couple of squats. You will feel better, work more productively and be much more enjoyable to be around.

Having had many great mentors over the years, I plan to pay it forward. Like John D. Rockefeller “I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no [person] a living but that it owes every [person] an opportunity to make a living.” As such, I intend to use my many years of employment and business law experience to mentor entrepreneurs, especially those in the entertainment, music and theater industries where both my children are developing careers.

To my many clients and colleagues that became my friends, I am grateful for you and I will miss you! You can reach me at my LPP law email address and my cell phone.

It is possible to find joy and fulfillment in both your work and personal life. May you enjoy the journeys!
