I’m a magazine editor and writer, occasional pencil for hire and former newspaper reporter. I’ve profiled an Oscar winner, an Olympic bobsledder, a National Book Award winner, a Batman artist, a Michelin star chef, a submarine commander, a rock and roll photographer, a barbecue pit master and the Smithsonian Secretary, among other people you might have heard of. I’ve also written about the romance of hotel bars. I live in Richmond, Virginia.
