Writer, Editor, Storyteller,
and More

IN A NUTSHELL

I’m a Georgia-based writer with hundreds of nonfiction articles in my portfolio. I’ve crafted both quirky human interest articles and detailed instructional features. From snakes to vintage trains to Christmas tree farms to nuclear power to Big Foot believers—I’ve written about nearly everything under the sun. If you live in the South, you’ve probably read something I’ve written.

But as a classically-trained engineer with years of experience in the technology world, I also enjoy using the left side of my brain from time to time.
