Bio

Born and raised in St. Louis, I finally moved to L.A. in 1999 to live life in the big city, and I could only be happier now if my family would follow me. Most of my life, I held desk jobs – administrative and accounting positions – but never found satisfaction or joy in an office. When I rolled the dice in 2006 on a freelance writing career, I was happy to discover that I was talented, my work was recognized and rewarded, and my dream to write for a living was becoming a reality. My life is a roller coaster but a fun ride, nonetheless, and I’m determined to stay on as long as possible!

Career

Freelance writer.

Interests and Hobbies

Writing, poker, baseball (STL Cards!), music, liberal politics, Vegas.

Writing

I began writing about poker during my employment at WPT by volunteering to write gratis articles for the PR department and player bios for their website. In April of 2006, I quit my accounting job there and began freelancing as an editor for American Poker Player Magazine and a writer for various poker publications. My resume now includes articles in American Poker Player, All In, Midwest Gaming & Travel, Southern Gaming, Poker Life, Poker Pro, and even St. Louis Magazine. I’ve written for www.PokerNews.com and www.PPTonline.com, I ghostwrite articles for poker players, and I am working on several book projects. And last but certainly not least, I’m very proud to join the Wise Hand Poker team of writers!
