A native East Coaster who headed westward. One who still believes that there is something special about a well-expressed idea. My experience writing and editing spans multiple genres: newspaper writing, product launch, press releases, copywriting, sports and sporting events, profile sketch, environmental pursuits, the great outdoors, Florida dispatches, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, speech writing, oral history, research, feature journalism, writing the region whether local or abroad, and children's stories. I love to read good writing wherever I might find it. My own work is given with a spirit of goodwill, energy and result.
