Today's Featured Biography
Dave Woodhead
My wife, Diana(Dede), and I are both retired and living in the hills a few minutes east of Carmel and Monterey, California. We have three grown and out-of-the-nest children and two grandchildren, Jack(3) and Addy(1). They, watercolor painting, hiking, travel and volunteer work get me to bed early.
The first half of my work life was centered around the ad agency business in New York, Detroit and Minneapolis----many jobs and much moving around. The second half was a more settled existence in publishing, starting in Time Magazine's advertising department. From there we ultimately found our way to the San Francisco area where I became VP-Marketing Director for Sunset Magazine, now a Time-Warner publication.
My last stand was with a successful business book publishing company that was started by a neighbor. Happily, before I could completely mess things up, we were bought out 7 years ago by a large international publisher, Thomson. Then Dede and I headed for the hills of Monterey County.
Looking forward to seeing you in 2009---this is going to be fun!
