Don grew up streetwise in the Bronx. At 19 he jumped at the opportunity to work on a tuna boat out of San Diego. He liked the sea, sunshine, volleyball, surfing, and California girls, so he stayed. Don now lives in beautiful Coronado, California, and is married with three sons and four grandkids. Don has been a California employment practices attorney since 1983. He litigated cases for close to 20 years, figured out how ridiculous it was, and decided to help employees and companies avoid destructive scenarios. Since then he has written numerous books on the workplace and presented to hundreds of CEO, HR, and insurance groups. Don was the founder and President of HR That Works, which was acquired by ThinkHR in January of 2014. Today he spends his time presenting, developing online training, coaching, executives, and conducting workplace investigations.
