Writing
I am a published writer, who covers a wide variety of subjects: politics, culture, parenting, marketing, and humor. I am a versatile writer who can produce quality marketing copy, press releases, opinion editorials, traditional journalism, and grants.
My work has been published in Newsweek, 5280 Magazine, Reason Magazine, Foundation for Economic Education, The Denver Post, Fatherly, Independent Voter Network, The Daily Sentinel, Colorado Politics, and The Montrose Monitor.
