About
Published Author of Fiction and Nonfiction
I'm the author of six books, including four novels and two nonfiction works. I write print and online articles about how the science of quality management can be applied within the pharmaceutical industry, and within the lives of individuals. I'm a frequent industry expert contributor to the premier pharmaceutical industry publications, Clinical Leader and Life Science Leader.
Award Winning Artist
My paintings focus on the complexity of women. They have been shown by galleries and purchased by collectors around the world. My art has also been acquired by two museums in Italy. You can see and purchase many of my paintings as well as prints and other products featuring my art here (link below). Eventually, all my available original paintings will be available in the shop.
Quality Management Expert
I'm the CEO of PDC Pharma Strategy. I've spent the last 30-plus years of experience applying the science of quality management and overseeing quality assurance and regulatory compliance in the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry. I have degrees in biology (BS) and quality systems engineering (MS).
Courage Champion
In 2018, I established the John & Penelope Hall Defining Courage Award (aka The Be Courageous Award) several years after losing my brother to suicide. The purpose of the program is to inspire students and the broader community to focus on courage.
