Autor: Joe Novak

Joe Novak’s life has been one of accomplishment, hard work, sensitivity and an unshakeable belief in himself. A graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School, he became a leading tax expert in San Juan, Puerto Rico during the sixties and early seventies. He was a partner in a major San Juan law firm, and served as consultant to the Governor of Puerto Rico on tax reform. In the early eighties, in New York City, at the age of 50, he became a serious painter, his present great passion and the source of new achievements. Throughout both careers, he has been sustained by loving relationships and supportive friendships. This memoir, written entirely by the author himself, travels with him on his 79 year journey, acknowledging his mentors and significant others and recording his experiences with the famous and not so famous. If there is a message here, it is—if we are open to life, anything is possible. Joe Novak lives and works in Rancho Mirage, California. His website is www.joenovak.com.
