Several years ago, I quit my traditional journalism job in Dallas to move to California to pursue my dream of living and writing at the beach.

My expertise lies in telling compelling stories, simplifying complex concepts, interpreting data and spotting trends. Whether it’s a CEO or a farmer, I’ll have them telling me their life story in no time. I’m as adept writing about interior design tips and wine trends as I am about Federal Reserve policy and bankrupt airlines. I bring a broad perspective after having worked across the country and traveled extensively.

Some of my current and former clients include AARP, the American Heart Association, City National Bank, Chicago Tribune, The Dallas Morning News, Minneapolis Star Tribune, NextAvenue.com, Stanford University, Texas Christian University and Texas Instruments Inc. Read some of my travel, health and fitness, business and personal finance, and general interest articles.

Most recently before freelancing, I was a top print and digital business reporter for The Dallas Morning News, one of the nation’s largest metro dailies. I covered the economy, aviation and media but also wrote about innovation and commercial real estate. I’ve written for media outlets across the country.

I traveled to Taiwan and Singapore as a journalism fellow with the East-West Center and I was one of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers’ inaugural Goldschmidt Data Immersion fellows. In my free time, I run, cycle, hike, read and explore the world.
