Challenging at times, but rewarding.
Moe's creations are just fantastic!! Was lucky enough to take the leftovers home from the HERF. Mitch had the chocolate moose last night and said he wants his birthday cake made like that!

Chocolate covered cannola OMG!

The best was at the HERF when my friend John was eating an eclair with fruit on it and he was going on and on how good it was. He turns to Moe and asks "what do you call this thing?" Moe says, "an eclair with fruit on it".

I'm my own Limited Liability Company. I provide creative services - writing, photography, print editing but I seem to have developed a nice little niche of design print advertising for grocery stores.

I now own a Private Club in Seattle. Yes, a cigar club

I'm "retiring" from my financial consultation practice at the end of the month to operate it. Dream come true

I own a Broadcast Contract Engineering Services company. We design, build and install custom equipment and facilities for Radio & TV stations in Southern California. Been in Broadcasting since 1974, started my own company in 1981. Quite a roller coaster ride over the years! LOL
