Author’s Biography
I was born and raised in northeast Kansas, growing up in a small log cabin nestled deep in the woods. This picturesque retreat, where I lived until early adulthood, frames most of my early memories.
I began writing seriously in 2015, after attending a moving lecture given by Elizabeth Gilbert. She was on tour for Big Magic, a game-changing book for creatives. Soon after her talk, I enrolled in my first online creative writing class. I haven’t looked back since.
I’m an avid traveler, though my heart is stuck in London. Other favorite destinations include Thailand, Ireland, Germany, Belize, and Italy.
I graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in finance. In early 2021, after thirteen years in corporate America, I left my day job. I’m thrilled now to call myself a full-time writer. When I’m not at the keyboard, you’ll likely find me in the kitchen, the yoga studio, or running outdoors in the Florida heat.
I’m married to my best friend, Marc. We’re proud residents of the Sunshine State, where we live with our “silky hair” miniature dachshund, Zoe.
