Summary

I began my career as a blogger back in 2004 as a way to pass the time while taking care of my newborn daughter.  Since then I've been published in numerous online publications, and linked to from countless others. 

 

While my main focus would fall under the umbrella of technology, I feel comfortable writing on almost any topic.  My body of work ranges from covering video games and gadgets to shopping, local affairs and more.  A list of my current writing commitments as well as links to highlights from my past work can be found in the sidebar.

Objective

I'm looking to take on any additional work that would be a good fit, be it for online or print publications.  If you have a project that you feel I'd be interested in that doesn't fall into those parameters, drop me a line.  I'm open to all offers.
