I began my writing career as a newspaper reporter in my home town in Indiana. From there I graduated with a degree in journalism from Ball State University and subsequently worked for numerous newspapers in Indiana (Noblesville Daily Ledger and Anderson Herald), and also free lanced for numerous small papers elsewhere in the state, primarily covering the state legislature. Upon moving to Michigan, I worked for the Grand Rapids Press before moving to the east coast and worked for the Washington Times before leaving daily journalism and writing for trade publications and magazines. I covered the the 1987 summit between Gorbachev and Reagan in Washington, D.C. for Seven Days, a short-lived Canadian news magazine. I later was a free-lancer for newspapers in Ireland and India (based in D.C.) I briefly returned to newspaper work at the Potomac News, a small daily in Woodbridge, Virginia where I was part of the desk (copy editing, assignment of stories, editing special sections, i.e.) before returning to the life of a free-lancer. After working for more technical publications, I decide to embark upon writing a novel. Currently, I am shopping around for a literary agent in hopes of finding publication.
