NEWS CAREER:
When I was thirteen I got my first camera and have been seeing life through a viewfinder ever since. In 1994, I found my profession as a television News Photojournalist for NBC, first in San Luis Obispo CA, then in Los Angeles. Over my career, I met so many inspirational people, went around the world, and did things I could never have imagined, like leaning out the back of a Chinook helicopter with the National Guard, or sitting down with a First Lady for a one-on-one interview, or spending a month in Athens and Sydney and Salt Lake City for the Olympic games, or being in St. Peters Square during the Papal Conclave.
After twenty-four years in the news business, I’m branching out to freelance content creation, in search of more creative storytelling that focuses on the positive. Read the post that went viral about my decision.

I’ve completed seven novels, with more in various states of completion. My debut novel MOTOR DOLLS, a girl-powered adventure following two Motor Dolls in search of life’s passion, sold out the first run.
Currently my agent Mary C. Moore of the Kimberley Cameron & Associates Agency is shopping my latest two novels, one, a 1935 road trip with a girl and a fabulous Buick, the other, a 1952 Gypsy Tour with twenty-two-year-old Greet and her 1936 Harley Davidson.

I live a swellegant vagabond life with my best feller, a whole bunch of misfit motorcycles, and of course, my beloved ’48 Ford Truck, Bondorella–splitting my time between Southern California and Winslow Arizona, where we are preserving two historic buildings.
