Articles on the web & Other stuff
I love telling stories.
I like big words.
I’m a radio personality and the digital content manager for a regional Christian radio network. I also write for print + online publications.
Before ministry, I did pr, marketing and communications for a U.S. Presidential candidate, a former Midwest Governor, a global nonprofit and two fortune 500 companies.
My corporate writing has been published in the Washington Post, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, LA Times and other larger papers and trade publications throughout the U.S. on issues related to fossil fuels and alternative energy sources, as well as policy-related news on agriculture, environment and business matters.
