About

I started pursuing writing dream 18 years ago covering high school and small college sports for a daily newspaper in Alabama. I moved to Atlanta in 1997 to work in corporate communications for seven years. That sports itch was always there, so I started freelancing to scratch it. After being downsized for the second time in three years in April, I decided to start my own freelance writing and editing business. Now I work at home full time(I can be difficult to deal with, but I'm not going to downsize myself!). I write for four sports sites, a flooring site and just about everything else under the sun. The bottom line is that I love to write and am lucky to be able to support my wife and two sons doing it.
