A tattoo that bears the date of a deadly disaster. A mental health hotline operator who sees angels in the corners of rooms. A scientist who stalks a specific fish on the Missouri River.

These are the characters I used to tell the story of rebuilding after the Joplin tornado, the failure of the mental health system in mid-Missouri and the demise of an endangered species.

A native of the Northeast, I am a writer and journalist working in Florida. Welcome to my website.

Here you can find those stories, some others that I consider my best work and random musings/posts/revelations on my blog.
