It all started 40 years ago… Barb took an entry level accounting position at a Hallmark Gift store and in the 12 years she worked there she quickly moved up the corporate ladder. With her determination, ambition, and trustworthiness the company was able to quickly open 22 stores. Then she was blessed and gave birth to twin boys and enjoyed the next few years of motherhood. As her kids grew older she took on corporate jobs here and there but her true passion was being by the water and fishing. She wanted to share with children and families how wonderful fishing was, so she went to school and in 2005 got her United States Coast Guard Merchant Marine License. Barbara became one of the first female fishing charter boat captains and chartered for many years across the waters of the Long Island Sound. She made several appearances on TV fishing with some of the top anglers in the sport, hosted many fishing seminars, and was at the top of her game.
In semi-retirement she now resides at Wu Wei Wellness and could not be happier. She takes care of the finances most of the time, but every now and then gets to watch Tom work his healing magic on his patients. She often marvels at the impact Tom has and is very proud of the great work he’s doing. In her spare time she enjoys cooking traditional Italian food.
