I have been a lawyer for over 40 years. During my career, the primary focus of my practice has been investment management, both at major international law firms and financial institutions. Before retiring, I most recently served as Special Counsel at WilmerHale and Vice President at Goldman Sachs.
I have been involved with The Art Guild from its early days. It has been thrilling to participate in its growth from an idea to bring artists together to raise awareness of visual arts in our community into the thriving non-profit it is today, actually accomplishing its mission in so many ways for our community.
