Experience + Talent + Passion = Excellance
I sold my first professional article to ''Living With Teenagers Magazine'' at the age of 17. I was hooked. My college major wasn't hard to choose: Journalism at UW Madison. That was over 40 years ago and I'm still hooked. In that time I've written for magazines and newspapers of all kinds, and for Internet publications. I like blogging but my passion is informative article writing. I also do proof-reading and editing from time to time. I enjoy writing product descriptions. I love research and passing on what I learn to others. Every non-fiction writer is in no small measure a teacher. I often do website content writing because I enjoy lending a hand to other professionals and assisting in their success.
I love design and I'm also a kitchen and bath designer, with 30 years of experience designing high end-- and not so high end-- kitchens and baths but that doesn't limit my scope. I enjoy writing health, nutrition, and family life topics, home and garden, cooking, as well as, design and home improvement. I write what I'm passionate about. and I believe that when talent meets passion the positive energy comes through in the writing and it excites the reader inspiring them to action.
I live in Northern Wisconsin where I enjoy spending time in my yard and gardens, renovating a 120-year-old house, having fun with family and friends, 3 Siamese cats + one feline who only thinks he's mine, and back yard wildlife.
Work Terms
I think it's a poor writer who doesn't expect to be paid fairly for the many hours of work and research that goes into good writing.
