I knew as a kid growing up in Kalispell, Montana, that I wanted to be a journalist, and by the time <i>All The President’s Men</i> came out in the movie theaters, I’d declared my major at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism. My first job out of college was at the <i>Spokesman-Review</i> in Washington state, where I found that covering ice hockey was not my forte.

I moved to California and spent 16 years as a reporter and features writer at <i>The Modesto Bee</i>. Then I worked as editor at the <i>Tracy Press </i>during a dozen years of boom and bust in the news industry. I was publisher of the <i>Scotts Valley Press-Banner</i> before I struck out on my own as a freelance writer and editor.

I have two wonderful children and love to visit them in San Francisco and Portland. I also spend part of every summer on Flathead Lake in Montana. The rest of the time, you&#39;ll find me walking my dog at the beach or riding my bike in Capitola, where I think I’ve found a little bit of paradise.
