Professional Experience
I am an award-winning narrative journalist covering Maine and New England culture. I am particularly interested in the passions that drive everyday people and how those pursuits relate to the rhythm of life in America. I also have a particular interest in/obsession for my hometown, Portland, Maine, where I have lived most of my life and for which I have written a travel guide. Resurgam.
