Award-winning writer and editor on people, places and lifestyles in Colorado and the Rocky Mountains
For the past couple of decades I've covered Colorado as a writer and senior features editor for The Denver Post, and more recently as a contributor to Mountain Living, Colorado Homes & Lifestyles and Colorado Avid Golfer magazines.
I am now also a sales rep for several activewear companies in the golf/tennis/fitness industry.
Let me know if you’d like to collaborate on editorial or style projects!
