“Personal” CV
Who I am and what I am up to
I am a retired professional with a background in data-driven analytics, marketing, and communications who now spends my days volunteering at national parks and recreation sites like Jackson National Fish Hatchery, Fort Bowie National Historic Site, and Chiricahua National Monument.
After years of being both a right-brained writer and a left-brained data nerd who developed compelling content that charmed the SEO gods, I’ve redirected my creative energies toward dystopian fiction. I’ve completed my first novel, “The American Archipelago,” and am currently working on “The Last American Prophet” — finding that imagining fictional dystopias provides a surprising therapeutic outlet for processing our current reality.
A nomadic lifestyle in my van, “Motivational Housing,” allows me to experience America’s natural treasures firsthand while volunteering my time and skills. When I’m not helping preserve our national heritage or writing about imagined futures, I’m working on my archery (I’m pretty good), attempting spoon carving (I’m rather ghastly at it), completing paint-by-numbers projects (mostly inside the lines), and reluctantly cross-stitching (which I secretly hate).
