From the opening line that grabs ahold and never lets go to the witty turn of phrase worthy of a chuckle, I appreciate a good story well told. Needless to say, writing for a living is nothing short of a dream gig.
As a freelancer specializing in science, nature, and health, I've handled assignments for dozens of magazines, newspapers, trade journals, and other publications. My words have appeared, in print or online, in National Geographic, Popular Science, Men's Health, Psychology Today, Backpacker, Outdoor Life, The Saturday Evening Post, NPR, and elsewhere. Along the way, I have received generous support in the form of fellowship and grant awards from the American Society of Journalists and Authors, Council for the Advancement of Science Writing, National Association of Science Writers, and Outdoor Writers Association of America. |
EDITORS SAY . . .
"He knows how to craft a story—making it interesting, entertaining and informative."
Before embarking on a freelance writing career, I pursued my passion for the written word by studying literature and creative writing at the undergraduate and graduate levels. From there, I had the pleasure of teaching, tutoring, and advising at the college level.
Over the years, I've guided aspiring artists, future engineers, and soon-to-be doctors as they learned to brainstorm better, find their focus, and dig into details. Nowadays, I put many of those same tips and strategies to use on a daily basis.
When I'm not hard at work, you might find me enjoying a cup of coffee with my wife, doubling as a human jungle gym for my kids, or greeting Mother Nature by foot, bike, canoe, ski, or snowshoe in Wisconsin's beautiful Northwoods.
