I am a trial lawyer, inventor, patent-holder, entrepreneur, martial artist, husband and father of six. At age 67, after a near-death experience gave me a moment of Clarity, I reinvented myself and began a new career as a personal development coach and speaker.
Today, my mission is to help people our age understand that we can still reach the dreams we haven’t reached yet and that we need to ignore what society tries to tell us about what it means to be our age—which is that we’re basically done and need to shut up, sit down and let the next generation take the lead. I don’t buy that at all.

After helping care for her grandmother who had vascular dementia, Jennifer realized her Mother was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. After the death of her father in 2017 Jennifer went searching for answers to many of the common questions and Alzheimer’s caregiver faces. Being a busy entrepreneur Jennifer realized that a podcast would be the easiest way to learn more about Caregiving while completing other tasks.
Sadly, in late 2017 she only found one and it didn’t quite address what she was looking for, so she did the next best thing, and started her own. The Fading Memories podcast is now in it’s fourth year and despite the death of her Mom in March 2020, Jennifer is still talking to caregivers and still learning how to be an excellent caregiver. On the podcast she discusses caregiving, brain health, self-care and how to age well.
