My Passion: I do my best to find you a working solution! If we can’t offer a selected product and I am aware that one is available for other agencies, I will recommend it and notify the other agent that something is on its way. The client comes first!
My Role: I enjoy assisting specifiers in the selection of lighting fixtures and control systems. I often showcase new products through product presentations and trade shows.
Personal Side: I was born in New York City to a family deeply involved in show business. My grandfather was the house electrician at the Old Metropolitan Opera house, my grandmother had been a Ziegfeld Gil way back in the day, and my father belonged to the IATSE Local number one. He worked on Broadway and television shows and was the Stage Manager at the Latin Quarter, a supper club on 48th Street owned by Lou Walters, who was Barbara Walters father. In 1964 he and my mother were both involved in projects at the New York World’s Fair 1964-1965. He was one of the consultants for Lincoln Center which included the Metropolitan, Philharmonic Hall and the New York State theater. In 1966 he took the family to Miami as he was selected to be the lighting designer for the Jackie Gleason show.
I enjoy watching my grandson’s, Cole and Nolan play sports. I also enjoy doing Ancestry as I have a Swedish background.
