BiographyL: I run a company called The Barter Group, a Scottsdale-based business founded by my parents in 1978. I spend my days connecting local business owners to one another to help them save money, support one another and in turn, help sustain our local economy and community.
Description: What can a dozen cupcakes get you? What can an hour of time get you? The world of barter lets you trade what you do for what you want.
