I've written grants to protect wildlife and to ensure community economic development. Our animals and cities need us. If you're in need of a grant writer, reach out. I respect this type of work, and my rates reflect that.

In the 2010s, I founded and edited Marco Polo Arts Mag, an online literary and art magazine. The greatest thing with Marco Polo was meeting great and intriguing people whose work meant more than being something publishable or something great to see. I made close friends with many of the writers and artists, and getting to know all of the contributors while preparing their work was an experience I wouldn't trade for anything.

I'm not shy about saying it like it is and admitting my mistakes, and I'm no stranger to failure. I have scraped my knees at home and abroad, and have lost more times than I can count. Good thing my sense of math is bad.

I love life.
