About Jay

I grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts and I’ve lived in seven states and two foreign countries. I spent a decade in the San Francisco Bay Area before returning to New England in 2018. I now make my home in Portland, Maine, a beautiful city and wonderful community.

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.
