Contract Writer/Editor at Arizona Highways Magazine
Phoenix, Arizona Area
In more than five years as a journalist for such publications as Phoenix Magazine, Phoenix Home & Garden, Arizona Highways and Arrive, I've covered everything from local artists and beer festivals, to mad scientists and boxing gyms. I've even interviewed Fozzie Bear. That's right: a Muppet. My specialty is a sharp personality profile, but I'm game for any assignment, any time, anywhere.
