Teri Bayus
|
I have been working for Non-Profits for over 30 years, as a volunteer, event coordinator, grant writer, and CEO. I also teach classes in social networking to writers, businesses, non-profits, and politicians along with public speaking. I write a weekly food and film column for Simply Clear Marketing and have since 2003. I also host the TV show, Taste Buds (www.tastebuds.tv) where I give honest food and wine reviews and highlight the chef’s talents. Taste Buds is in its third season, with shows being filmed in Cuba, Italy, and Paris. I have published two novels, Consumed and SousVide, which are in the genre of culinary erotica. I am currently editing my memoir about my time as a trapeze artist with the Circus. I am the director of the Central Coast Writer’s Conference and love bringing the writing community together to inspire and create. I have four blogs, 26 Facebook pages, three Twitters, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Yelp and every other social media known to man, where I shock, inspire and make people giggle. |

Carey A. James graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1984 and began his Financial Services career locally over 30 years ago with Bateman Eichler Hill Richards Inc., which at the time was the largest investment banking firm west of Chicago.

The James Financial Group has received numerous awards from the investment community and Mr. James is ranked within the top 20% of financial professional in the country by his peers. Carey enjoys traveling, scuba diving, snow skiing, and classic movies. |
