Cheers

Thanks for visiting. I’m a talented writer and editor who can bring elaborate, multi-part projects to a successful finish by deadline and under budget. In addition to my prowess with the written word, I’m a confident and engaging public speaker who is also an excellent listener.  

Currently based in the Bay Area of California, I was born in Kansas City, Mo. I’ve worked in journalism and the beverage alcohol industry for most of my professional life. In addition to making — and writing about — beer, wine and cider; I’ve written about cannabis and the burgeoning field of psychedelics.

My unique blend of professional and personal experience enables me to understand, appreciate and communicate the immediate and long-term changes in the economy and society as the human experience evolves. I am available to apply this unique blend of professional and personal experience to a variety of projects.
