I am a book manufacturing sales professional with over 25 years of experience initiating, building, and maintaining relationships in a variety of print platforms. I have enjoyed working with publishers from all across the country while covering multiple territories in and around North Carolina where I have been living in the last 20+ years. The markets I have served while at Thomson-Shore include University Presses, Religious Publishers, Trade Publishers, Educational Publishers and Professional Publishers.
Outside of work, I have enjoyed officiating high school basketball and have been doing so since 2010. It certainly helps my communication skills in tough situations. My son and daughter currently play sports in college and I have kept busy watching their games over the years.

A native New Yorker, I spent most of my career on the ‘other side of the desk,’ responsible for production and manufacturing departments at major publishing companies. With a deep understanding of day-to-day production challenges, and the need for quality products and services, my sales role at Thomson-Shore is a perfect fit for me. Among other professional activities, I have been a member of the AAP Paper Issues Working Group, the AAP Committee for Textbook Specifications, and current Vice President of the Book Industry Guild of NY. I was voted one of the ‘Top 50 Women in Publishing’ by Book Business Magazine. I am passionate about books and publishing, and love to work with customers to help them realize their vision.

I've been a fan and collector of print (books, comics, advertising) all my life. I've been fortunate to have a career in print that has lasted 20+ years. Because this business is both my profession and personal passion, I can offer a unique perspective to my customers while providing a satisfying experience all around. I've had the pleasure of living and traveling throughout the Midwest, with Chicago being my most recent and particular favorite residency, but returned to my Michigan roots a few years ago.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from Eastern Michigan University, with a minor in printing, which has served me well in my professional life. My wife and I have two children (one of each flavor, boy and girl). We enjoy traveling the US, visiting local culture events, wineries and breweries, and attending conventions/events related to print.

I’m a Regional Sales Manager covering the New England and Mid Atlantic regions for Thomson-Shore. Throughout my 30 plus years in book manufacturing I’ve worked in pre-press, customer Service, print sales, sales management, and fulfillment sales. I’ve worked for commercial printers, component manufacturers, and book manufacturers with fulfillment. I’d like to think that throughout this time I’ve developed an excellent working knowledge of the book manufacturing and distribution process and freely offer this knowledge to my publishing client. I have a BS from Rochester Institute of Technology and an MBA from Suffolk University. I’m married with two sons, live in Plymouth, MA and enjoy playing tennis, golf, fishing and free diving for lobsters and fish (not a big fan of seals or sharks!).
