Bio: I have been writing stories for more than a decade all across the state of Michigan. I have covered homicides, fires, little league, professional golf and pretty much everything in-between.

I am a fitness buff and a nutrition guru. I have self-published a novel and a two-hour documentary film. I have won multiple Michigan Press Association Awards. My photos have appeared on ESPN.com. I'm always ready to tell a story.
