Experience
Author of my Father\'s List how Living my Dad\'s Dreams Set me Free
Feb 2022 — Present · Montclair, NJ, US
My book My Father’s List: How Living My Dad’s Dreams Set Me Free (books printed: 7,800; books sold in first year: 4,500) was published by Post Hill Press in June 2023. I have appeared on CBS News Sunday Morning, NPR, the BBC, Tamron Hall, the Drew Barrymore Show, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, among many other TV programs, and have been covered by the Washington Post (a story that went viral internationally), AARP, Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, Woman’s Day, the Daily Mail, the New York Post, Shondaland, and Reader’s Digest, to name a few. I launched the book at 30 bookstores nationally, spoke to audiences of 250 and up, and teach a bucket list class to the actress Melissa Gilbert’s brand community. My Father’s List was chosen as one of the Best Books of 2023 by Real Simple magazine.
