CurrentMy career as an award-winning Radio/TV News Anchor & Reporter -- with a side hustle interviewing authors for national media -- blossomed into my current career as a Book Coach, Writer and Publicist.

Over the years, I’ve penned cover stories for Writers Digest, more than a dozen author profiles for The Costco Connection. Other stories landed in anthologies, including three “A Cup of Comfort” anthologies. I’ve ghostwritten books, bios and stories. Other roles include Media Trainer, Speaker, Moderator and Emcee. I’m also a VoiceOver Artist and OnCamera Talent for companies like Wired.MD, Tektronix, AngelVision, InternetJock. As Program Chair of the Willamette Writers Conference in 2010 & 2011, I organized the three-day event with 1,000 attendees, hundreds of agents, writers, film directors & producers - & introduced social media.One of the best pleasures was participating for a decade in -- what one newspaper called – The Hottest Writing Group in Portland with best-selling authors Cheryl Strayed, Chelsea Cain, Chuck Palahniuk, Suzy Vitello Soule, Monica Drake and Lidia Yuknavitch.With my BS in Journalism and Communications as the springboard, my mission is to communicate the truth, while educating, entertaining and inspiring audiences.
