I’m based in the Bay Area and have been writing professionally since 2004 (see Work).
 
I've been a columnist, restaurant reviewer, features writer, and winner of industry awards. I've written and edited several books.
 
I now work as a Senior Manager of Content at a pre-IPO tech company. Before that, I worked as a Senior Writer at a much larger tech company. My focus in the tech space: Crafting soup-to-nuts, strategic, and consumer-friendly marketing content for demand-gen campaigns, product launches, and global events. 

I've had other adventures, too:

I was National Marketing Manager for a foodservice company with 1,000 cafés. I worked in Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice. And I spent two years teaching high school in the Peace Corps in Eritrea.

Above all, I'm a storyteller. I use language to make sense of the world and bring others along for the ride.
