I am a Boston-area writer, performer, and digital content consultant. My fiction has appeared in The Drum, Black Heart, and Side B Magazine. For seven years, I was an executive editor at PC World magazine and PCWorld.com.
In 2007, I took a four-month, solo trip around the world and can now say in three languages: “Do you speak English?” “How much is the Pepto-Bismol?” and “Excuse me, is this the evacuation helicopter?”
I am writing a novel inspired by the trip with the working title: “The Loneliest Planet: A Novel for the Chronically Single,” which I will circulate to agents in 2013. View video excerpts performed in front of a live audience.
Since 2009, I have read and performed excerpts from Planet more than 50 times at venues in Boston and New York. The readings have included headlining at Four Stories in Cambridge, winning a MassMouth story-telling event in Boston, and performing at a poetry slam at New York's Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
I am currently promoting my one-man show, "The Chronic Single's Handbook," which was selected for ArtBeat 2012, a Somerville, Mass-based performance festival, as well as summer 2013 fringe theater festivals in Portland, ME., and Washington, D.C.,
I have guest-lectured on topics, such as "Voice in Non-Fiction" and "Travel Writing" at Central Connecticut State University, and taught memoir writing for the Boston Center for Adult Education.
I also taught a seminar on "How to Plan a Trip Around the World" at the Boston Center for Adult Education and at a local Eastern Mountain Sports store.
I have written marketing communications, assisted with site launches, developed how-to articles, product reviews, and SEO content. Over three years at my most recent client, Daimer Industries, I wrote, edited, and search optimized more than 1100 articles.
