Dana Nuesca Bio:

Dana Nuesca married at 19, which most people will tell you is a terrible idea. Forty years later, she is still married, still standing, and has built an entire career out of proving most people wrong.

Dana holds a bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a master’s degree in management from Troy University. She has put those credentials to work as a franchise co-owner, author, and speaker. Dana and her husband, Kalani, co-own The Tailored Closet and PremierGarage in San Diego, where they have somehow managed to build a thriving business without either one filing paperwork on the other.

Dana is the author of Hot Mess to Not Mess: Kicking Indecision and Disorganization to the Curb and a contributing author to Her Next Level, a 21-author anthology featuring her chapter, “Her Commitment,” which does exactly what the title promises.

She is also the founder of HotMessToNotMess.com, where she helps business owners get out of their own way and, occasionally, their spouse’s way too.

Dana is a Jesus lover, the mother of one son, a grandmother of six, and, by multiple credible accounts, genuinely funny. Her clients agree. Her husband is still deciding.
