Professional Writer & Editor Crafting Stories That Connect

I’m a writer and editor focused on stories that connect people and place. My work includes travel, whiskey, and culinary writing for Garden & Gun, The Local Palate, Southbound, Whisky Advocate, and other publications, as well as coverage of the American West as former managing editor of American Cowboy magazine. I also create editorial content and strategy for luxury and travel brands, helping translate a sense of place into authentic, compelling storytelling.
