From troubleshooting naval electronics to debugging business challenges, this author knows how to solve problems without an instruction manual! After trading her petty officer's rank for a Bioengineering degree at UC San Diego (and later upgrading her skill tree with an MBA in Technology Management), she's mastered the art of translating complex systems into actionable business strategies.

Her highly rated guide "15 Steps to Starting Your Business" (boasting an impressive 4.7 stars) helps entrepreneurs avoid those classic startup blue screens of death, while her upcoming "Unleash Your Digital Marketing Power" promises to boost your SEO ranking in the algorithm of success. When she's not decoding business puzzles, she reboots her creative circuits by publishing adorable children's coloring books featuring Charlie the puppy under her pen name, Lilly Brightwood.

Now happily downloaded to North Carolina with her husband (her fellow electronic technician and debugging partner of nearly 40 years), she proudly watches as her two adult children carry on the family's westward installation in San Diego. With experience spanning technical expertise, business insight, and creative storytelling, she shows that the best entrepreneurs, like the best electronic technicians, know exactly which wires to connect to power up success with confidence, humor, and strategic precision.
