About Me

Welcome graphic

I am a free-lance writer. Among the publications that have seen my byline are Smoke & Fire News, General Aviation News, the Eastern Shore Milestone and the Annapolis Capital.

Previously, I worked for the USEPA and later for both the Baltimore Sun and the Annapolis Capital as an editorial assistant and as an in-house free-lance contributor.

Finally, I was the editor of Inside SAHE, a monthly newsletter for an Annapolis-based section of the Sierra Club. There I combined both hard copy and Internet resources to publish material related to forest resources, water and air quality, and activism.

When I was employed at Anne Arundel Community College, in Arnold, MD working as the assistant director for the Center for the Study of Local Issues, I helped to prepare and support preparations and conduct of committee and public meetings. In my other jobs, I had rather less to do with meeting, although they did call for a fair share of interaction with the public, such as sorting out problems with press releases or fielding complaints.

My Favorites

Favorite Band or Musician: Jazz
Favorite TV show: SciFi, History, Food, BBC America. These are cable channels but otherwise there are rather a lot of shows I enjoy.
Favorite movie: Action flicks, comedies, animation, SF
Favorite book: history, SF, urban fantasy, historical fiction, collecting signed books
Favorite sports team: not as such but I do watch the Olympics - Summer & Winter, & and lately, the World Cup on the rare occasion the American Men win a game. The Womens' team is pretty good. I guess that football the way its played elsewhere is just too much for the Yank Men.
Favorite food: the stuff I cook especially. As for the rest, I've been getting adventurous in my old age, so there's really not a lot that I will turn up my nose at. Chocolate and pasta are high on the list - though not on the same plate and not always at the same meal.

My Hobbies

Military history, local history, movies, music, science fiction, amateur nature photography, and collecting books,preferably autographed.

Most Admired

Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Thomas Jefferson...
