Professional Experience

A veteran editor of book publishing and now a freelance editor and writer, I've edited book projects from Blood Diamonds to Pot Inc., written profiles on prison wardens and motorcycle racers, coach writers to successful book projects and agents, and write short and longform features for CNN Money, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the public radio project Life of the Law, with a strong interest in vanishing people and places on the American cultural landscape. I'm a master developmental and copy editor, having sat on both sides of the editor and writer desk, always with the most engaging story and accurate, well-reported piece in mind.
