Professional Experience

Working again as a freelance writer / editor, I have covered a variety of subjects, including large, corporate shareholders' meetings to craft coffee conferences. I also had a weekly lifestyle / people-profile piece in a top-10 newspaper. My focus is craft beer, but as mentioned I can cover a multitude of subjects. I also have experience in golf, apparel, fluffy fitness, et al... I also have written annual newsletters for nonprofits about educational children's exhibits and new math programs.
