Writer Biography
I turned to freelancing a few years ago, after spending more than 20 years as a newspaper reporter and editor.

I have also written a book, "Smell It Like It Is: Tales From the Garlic Capital of the World." I have special knowledge and experience in writing about gardening, home design, art, theater, education, parenthood, and pop culture.
