About

Curiosity killed the cat? Another reason I’m a dog person.

My worst childhood memory is the time my brother made me eat a leaf. Coincidentally, his worst childhood memory is the time he broke his arm after being pushed off a slide.

After stints in San Francisco, New Orleans, Tucson and San Diego, I find myself settled in Austin, TX. That means I have a lot of opinions on tacos, swimming holes and "how it was when I first moved here."

I'm raising two super mutts named Ron Swanson (the big one) and Maeby (the little one) who also have a lot of opinions on things, including squirrels, UPS drivers and the neighborhood cat, Whiskey. They’d be happy to tell you all about it anytime.

 
 

In my non-spare time, I'm a creative director and copywriter focused on brand stories and all things digital.
