About me

I have lived in the beautiful State of Maine for almost three years now. Much to my great disappointment, I have not yet seen a moose or a black bear. I figured they'd be hanging out in my backyard, playing pinochle with lobsters.

I've recently returned to college after a long absence, and plan to get a Bachelor's degree in Media Writing, with a minor in Business.

A fair amount of writing passes through my keyboard: Articles for Helium (of course)... blogs on myspace and wordpress... and a novel-in-progress. The novel takes place in Maine, and has at least one moose in it.
