About Me:

A freelance writer based in Missoula, Montana, I also endure a day job that earns me roughly 100K air miles a year, performing a task that no one really seems to understand no matter how often I describe it. So I don't really bother to try anymore. I have played in loud, obnoxious, heavy rock bands for 20+ years and have the tinnitus to prove it. When not traveling, writing, or devouring books I blog a couple times per week about whatever happens to strike my fancy that day.
