My career, spanning over four decades, has been a testament to the power of strategic vision and leadership. From the vibrant sales floors of Bashinski's Gems and Jewelry to the strategic boardrooms of Reeds Jewelers and Friedman's incorporated, I have navigated the intricate world of diamonds, gems, and the buying sector with a blend of scientific precision and creative flair. My passion for storytelling is not -just a personal interest, but a reflection of my professional -journey. It is beyond the sparkle of a well-cut diamond, weaving narratives that resonate with the heart and mind. - my passion is clear in my published five nonfiction books and the twenty plus novels. As an author, I understand the value of legacy and it's the timeless beauty of a family heirloom or the enduring impact of a well-told tale. My books are more than -just collections of words. They are vessels of 'knowledge, experience, and imagination' destined to inspire and enlighten. I hope you find these sources of information and entertainment too.
