Professional Experience

An award-winning writer of books and magazine articles, I've interviewed a hijacking survivor shot in the head, probed a priest’s passion for painting religious nudes, dined with Gordie Howe, played snowshoe baseball, and crashed the women’s locker room.  Adept at covering a variety of subjects, I have developed a particular interest in the personal and social dramas that play out in sports.
