Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, Michelle Jaminet has been a South Florida resident for more than 20 years.

After attending Ohio University where she was a Fine Arts major specializing in Graphic Design, Michelle joined the creative department at Group Three Advertising in Fort Lauderdale.  Shortly thereafter she "took to the friendly skies" as a flight attendant.  Following her world traveling, Michelle formed Event Marketing Group, Inc., an event management company specializing in marketing and promoting sporting events, more specifically, golf.

After producing and promoting numerous celebrity and charity golf events, Michelle went to work exclusively for the "International Ambassador of Golf" Gary Player where she was the Executive Director of the Gary Player Foundation for three years.

In 2001 Michelle formed Par Excellence, LLC a full-service marketing, advertising and public relations agency with a concentration in special event management. 

It was in 2002 that Michelle adopted her cocker spaniel, Clicquot, from the Tri-County Humane Society and who became the inspiration for her book when she couldn't find an appropriate memory book to document their life together.  What started out as a single copy for personal use became Auntie M Publishing with more than 5,000 books in circulation!  Today the book is available in more than 200 pet boutiques nationwide.

Michelle currently operates Par Excellence and happily resides with Clicquot in Palm Beach, Florida while waiting for George Clooney to call!

A Team Effort

Michelle recognizes she could not have successfully done this alone, and, therefore, enlisted friends and family to help finance the project, design the book, edit the book, and more importantly, for moral support!  She would like to thank the following people, not only for the friendship and professional input, but their support during this journey:
