Introduction

As a professional freelance journalist, travel writer and gear reviewer, I write articles that are well-researched, well-documented and accurate. My writings range from destinations to news and environmental issues.

I also write advertorial, PR, nature columns for newspapers, opinions, nature related books and gear reviews.

I am a professional. I respect deadlines and get my stories in on time. I know how to find answers to questions editors ask and write what they want, instead of trying to sell what I have chosen to write.

When I travel, I become a sponge, absorbing details around me. My pen and notebook are always in hand as I record the trip. Sometimes I come home with enough text for a book manuscript.

My destination articles record the feel of the day, the essence of the experience as well as the facts surrounding the place.

I include professional quality, high resolution digital images with my articles.

As an amateur naturalist and birdwatcher, I have waited for hours in my canoe, watching and listening to beavers in and around their lodge, following otter or mink tracks along densely shaded trout streams and written about the experiences in columns for several newspapers. My readers repeatedly thank me for taking them into the woods on my treks, so vivid are my descriptions.
