Experience & Expertise

Currently, I am the Travel and Tourism Expert for IdeaMarketers. While working as the City Reporter on the Branson Daily News, I was the managing editor of the newspaper's monthly travel and entertainment magazine, The Ozark Mountain Visitor, for which I also wrote entertainment reviews and travel features. Also designed, edited and wrote feature articles for the weekly entertainment magazine published by the Elko Daily Free Press. As a journalist, I've often taken the photographs accompanying my articles.
