I began my environmental career in 1999,
leaving sixteen years in retail management to make a risky move into
an unknown field – although one I’d often dreamed of entering. Thanks
to my longtime boss Captain Bill Sheehan and a host of colleagues –
like Julia Somers and her team at the Highlands Coalition – I’ve been
able to make a difference for clean water here in northern New Jersey.
Now it’s time for me to take different kind of risk and step up (step
off?) for clean water with Over The Edge on May 31. I hope
you’ll
join me in spirit – and with a generous pledge – to support our two
organizations and to celebrate all those who protect, preserve and
defend YOUR right to clean water.
