: About Me

Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, I cut my teeth taking a ton of right and wrong turns during three separate stints in college (the third culminating in earning my Bachelor's of Arts from the University of Washington), nearly a decade as a project office temp with stints in accounting and as a clerk in the casino cage at Bally's Las Vegas, and a lifetime of twists and turns.

I moved to Seattle in 2004 as an act of self-actualization. I wanted to live here for years, and have no plans to go anywhere now that I'm here. I have lived car-free since my arrival. I enjoy web research, writing, exercise, long neighborhood walks, reading, baseball, breakfast at restaurants and working on my golf swing.

My passion is ...

evident in everything I pursue in life

I know too much about ...

baseball, theatre and diet

My parents always told me ...

they were impressed with my work, and I never let it go to my head.

My childhood ambition ...

Why I write ...

I write to help make life clearer for readers

My first job ...

I shelved books at a library for 3 years in HS

My best moment ...

is lost in a sea of countless other great moments, because I tend not to play favorites

My inspiration ...

is the best answer, the best choice and the best results possible.
