I'm a Denver-based writer with twenty years of experience crafting fiction and narrative non-fiction. I've written for local papers, magazines, blogs, and brands, often serving as a ghostwriter. My travel and research-driven work has taken me from Colorado to Italy, and I published Italy: BeerCountry, the first book about the Italian craft beer movement, built on hundreds of interviews and a long journey of discovery. My fiction has appeared in Fast Forward and other journals; I was Colorado Book Awards finalist for The Mix Tape (2010) and Pushcart Prize nominee in 2019. I excel at turning factual content into tight, flowing prose and bring a creative edge to content writing, marketing copy, and storytelling across media.…I'm a Denver-based writer with twenty years of experience crafting fiction and narrative non-fiction.
