The “portal” photos change from time to time. I’m hoping my friends will recognize them and we can have a conversation.

Greetings, Friends!

Welcome to The Portal. I chose the name because I see this as a window through which we will view each other and the challenges (particularly professional challenges) we face in getting our message out to clients and customers. Of particular interest to me are communications (trends, metrics, topics of the day), small business, and the whole realm of social media.
