I use my communications experience, business knowledge, eclectic interests and common sense to create success for my clients. If you feed me dark chocolate, I develop effective media pitches, conduct and analyze research, recommend actions that help you meet your goals and audaciously suggest event centerpieces to florists. I believe in long-term associations with quality clients -- and I believe in baseball. I established Public Relations Services in 1987.
