Lisa's various careers have included Master Scuba Diving Instructor (nobody drowned), wall street headhunter (it did not involve shrunken heads, it only seemed like it), Owner/Chef of a Caribbean restaurant (downloading recipes from the internet = RED FLAG), Set Medic for a reality T.V. show (where to start?), Deputy Prothonotary of a county court (filing lawsuits, and the paperwork written to sustain them, remains a popular American sport).
