Rachel Hamman

Before Rachel Hamman decided to stay at home with her two children, she was a high-powered professional woman, working as a a field marketing manager for E&J Gallo Winery, and an assistant vice president with Merrill Lynch in the Private Client Group. She was founder and executive director of The Golden Rule Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring elementary school children to learn how to give to others through hands-on community service projects. She has been named one of the "Most Remarkable Women" by Barbara Walter’s ABC show, "The View;" was featured in "Glamour" magazine for her philanthropic advances; and was honored as one of the "Eckerd 100 Outstanding National Volunteers." She considers her current position, however, as mother, humorist, and writer to be her most challenging. Her dreams for the future are to keep others around her laughing and to have her children grow into motivated, competent adults who require as little therapy as possible. She is happily married and lives in Maitland, Florida with her husband and two children.
