Professional Experience
An award-winning feature writer, I've covered teddy-bear toting executives, family vacations at gambling palaces and how Indonesian scat can produce the best coffee. I've been widely published in national magazines and newspapers and can produce compelling copy on parenting, ADHD, gardening, construction, lifestyles, entertainment and health issues.
