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 graduated from Lake Fenton High School in the year 2000 and earned a journalism degree from Central Michigan University in 2004. I have worked for a couple newspapers writing sports, features and hard news.
I love the outdoors. I camp every chance I get. The Great Lakes rule. I am a sports nut. Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite writer. I make homebrew. Cooking is fun. I love to hang out with my friends. 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.
