Reader. Writer. Teacher. Student. Runner. Coach. 

In the final stretch before writing full time!

My latest exploits have included speaking annually at HippoCamp, Hippocampus Magazine’s annual creative nonfiction writing conference, and performing at the Woodstock Writers Festival Story Slams in 2016, 2018, and 2019. Check out my first one below:

I also spent a couple of years volunteering at the American Writer Museum in Chicago, the only museum dedicated to writing in the nation. It is a must-see for writers or lovers of literature.

Less than a year to go until I retire and have time to focus on writing and growing my writing/teaching/coaching business.
