As a writer at Southern California newspapers and magazines, I’ve seen families grappling with crises and finding strength in love. I’ve met hopeful couples pushing hard to open businesses in their living rooms. I’ve watched singers and actors share with audiences their most urgent discoveries about what it feels like to be human. And I get great satisfaction from sharing all that with those publications’ readers.
Please visit my blog for observations about things that interest me. (I write a lot about sports, music and travel.)
I will soon post a writing portfolio.

He is diplomatic and sympathetic, while at the same time he maintains control of the interview and keeps his source on track.
