Buy Red Wine & Chocolate - Marina Peterson

Do you have girlfriend that you’ve known so long you don’t even remember when or how you met?  They have become so integrated into who you are that you can’t see your life without them?  Marina Peterson is a friend like that for me.  I met Marina when she married my college friend Noah Peterson.  Together, they are the kind of friends where when life gets busy months may go by where we don’t talk, and then there are weeks when we talk every day.  I know that at any time I can pick up the phone and you’ll be there.  Together Marina & Noah are Peterson Entertainment.

Marina is the woman of many, many talents from running her own company, supporting Noah in his, and from time to time doing contract work.  Marina is an HR genius.  The companies she works with are lucky to have her attention to detail and goal oriented success strategies.  A dedicated volunteer with many organizations that support the growth and development of young women, Marina is the standing President of the Portland Female Executives she has lead the organization thru countless education programs, holiday fundraisers, and member recruitment campaigns. 

When I started my company Marina and Noah were the first to call and offer support from creating flyers, videotaping my talks.  The amazing thing is I don’t even have to ask.  It’s just done.

I do believe every woman should have someone like Marina as a friend.  What every woman can learn from Marina? Take your time finding your life partner.  I know she is a demonstration it is worth it.  Have perseverance!  Marina is the most flexible and organized woman I know.  She is a lifelong learner, dedicated to giving back.  I know from experience a little time with Marina, red wine and chocolate can cure anything.  And if that day ever happens you need to come home to flowers on your doorstep.  She’ll do that too!  (No Marina, I’ll never forget that.)

Marina thank you for the laughter and the tears for the tough love we both share with each other that keep us growing into the amazing women we are meant to be!
