About me

I'm a generalist writer based in Alburtis, Pennsylvania, USA. I've produced content for a number of technology and curriculum companies over the past ten years, and before that spent 15 years as a classroom teacher at home and abroad.

In my free time right now: Traveling the Middle East. Writing a memoir. Reading philosophy. Hanging out with family. Building a teardrop camper.
