You'll find here samples of my work as a journalist: news and features articles and columns. Though I also have written numerous business proposals and narratives, I have not posted them here due to proprietary and confidentiality constraints.
My poems and short stories also are not posted here.
In the late twenty-teens, I was a contributor to Great Lakes Scuttlebutt Magazine and Lakeland Boating and served as a reporter for Detroit Public Television's Great Lakes Now news site. I also contributed to Grosse Pointe News, covering news in Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Shores, and Grosse Pointe Woods. Back in 2001, in addition to contributing to local magazines and The Detroit News as a freelance writer, I was a staff writer with Grosse Pointe News, covering schools and libraries. I have posted some of my early articles in Dropbox folders (links below).
I'm the recipient of the 2018 second-place award by the Michigan Press Association in the weekly media B news feature category. Link to the award-winning article.
