About me
Farm-raised and University of Colorado-educated, I’m a journalist by training who specializes in accurate, authentic and innovative work. With 25+ years of extensive domestic and international experience as a writer, video and TV producer, I’ve been fortunate to produce stories from every continent.
After graduating from CU-Boulder, I started my career at CNN. For ten years, I traveled the world while directing and writing documentary-style, long-form features that focused on travel, history, culture and food. It was an incredible learning experience.
Then, I launched a successful production business and built a solid and supportive client base. Over the years I’ve worked with ABC, American Airlines, Cooking Channel, DIY Network, Food Network, HGTV, James Beard Foundation, MSL Public Relations, T-Mobile, Travel Channel and many more.
Today, I’ve added article writing to my skillset, covering a range of topics that include economic development, outdoor recreation, health and medicine as well as destination profiles and road trip itineraries.
From research, set-up and interviewing to writing, photography and video production, I enjoy all aspects of the story process.
