About Jay

I grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts and I’ve been fortunate to live in nine states and two foreign countries, including a decade in the San Francisco Bay Area and eight years in Portland, Maine. I now divide my time between Newburyport, Massachusetts and Savannah, Georgia, two beautiful cities and wonderful communities.

I’ve had a long and varied career: I’ve practiced law, given away money for five different charitable foundations, worked as a writer and philanthropy consultant and served as a hospital chaplain.

In my current role as a Life Review Adviser, I'm drawing on my experience and lessons learned from all my previous work.
