Jan’s contacts in media, government, business and community span South Florida and are the result of more than two-and-a-half decades of diligence and dedication.
Before opening her boutique agency in early 2005, Jan led South Florida’s scene-makers to the iconic waterfront restaurant Shooters, where she headed up marketing as Director and then Vice President of the landmark chain. From its inception on Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal Waterway to the franchising of the concept across the United States, Jan built the burgeoning brand into the household name for dock-and-dine and maintained its presence on the list of top-grossing restaurants in the country for nearly two decades.
Jan volunteered four consecutive years as Vice-President and then President of the Victoria Park Civic Association, the largest Homeowners’ Association in Fort Lauderdale. She shepherded the historic downtown neighborhood through a maze of issues, from big utilities to townhouse development to controversial store openings.
Jan served as Vice-President and Board Member to the Council of Fort Lauderdale Civic Associations and fundraiser for the Florida Neighborhoods Conference hosted by Fort Lauderdale and Broward County in 2006.
Jan volunteers on the Wildlife Care Center Gala Committee, the Press Committee for Broward Public Library Foundation’s 2010 Literary Feast and is reprising her role as Marketing Chair of Share Our Strength’s Broward County Taste of the Nation.
Jan’s tireless fundraising efforts for non-profit and business sector clients alike, along with her substantial body of volunteer work, give her a one-of-a-kind perspective on the philanthropic and civic landscape. Her keen business sense, entrepreneurial spirit and astute ability to discover and respond to what individuals and companies seek to achieve deliver measurable results.

Her innate ability to recognize and immediately leverage opportunistic marketing initiatives, as well as her seamless integration of sales, advertising, public relations, media, events and project management enable her to raise sponsorships, funds and awareness.
