I met Leigh Himes a few years ago, when I was first starting out in this business of covering events. She’s a bubbling young women, with an infectious smile, and warm personality.
When I met her she had just left Tierney, and launched her own firm. Since that time she’s gotten married, moved to the burbs and wrote a book which was published on May 31, 2016 “The One That Got Away: A Novel”
