I specialize in writing intimate, narrative, sense-of-place essays for both print and to be aired on public radio. My work has been quoted in the New York Times and featured on Away.com and the Public Radio Exchange (PRX.)

My Home Planet column runs weekly in The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Washington. My weekly public radio essays are aired across the Northwest and are frequently heard on public radio stations across the country.

My travel features have appeared in Alaska Airways Magazine, AAA Journey Magazine and other Northwest publications.

I have an established career as a writer, photographer, newspaper editor, magazine editor and radio commentator.

I have published one compilation of columns and will publish my second compilation in 2012.
