About me

Everyone has something to share. Maybe it's a review of a great movie that slipped under the radar. Maybe it's advice on how to shop with a toddler in tow, or the experience learned through years of throwing children's birthday parties.

Whatever I experience in life becomes a lesson learned. Some of my experiences are from trial and error, others have been learned in books and classes. Writing online is an opportunity to share my experiences with others.

When writing at Helium, I regularly contribute to a variety of channels. I have participated in various writing contests and have sold articles through Helium's Marketplace and Stock Content programs. (Including Marketplace sales prior to those displayed on the new profile badge.)

I am also a member of Helium's Editorial Advisory Board and participate as the site steward for the Board Games subchannel in Hobbies and Games.

In addition to freelance writing, my career background includes computer systems administration working in Unix, Windows, and Novell environments. I also keep two blogs: a personal blog and one on Moral Secularism. (Links are to the right.)

Please feel free to contact me with questions or comments. I will respond as quickly as possible.
