CNET contributor
Testing out "Back to the Future: Part II" shoes.
I've dumped red wine on a hydrophobic t-shirt, tasted one of the world's hottest hot sauces, test-driven an electric unicycle and prowled through the darkest reaches of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas during my work as a freelance contributor to CNET.
CNET gives me the opportunity to create fun, catchy content on tight deadlines, while also delving into photography and videos as illustrations for posts. I frolic through topics ranging from weird discoveries on Mars to the internet's obsession with optical illusions.

On the Turquoise Trail
New Mexico turquoise.
An assignment for New Mexico Magazine sent me out on Highway 14, the state's famous Turquoise Trail. I met with a color-blind miner, talked with jewelers, explored the quaint shops of Madrid, and stood inside the famous Tiffany Mine near Cerrillos.
My quest for the iconic blue stone led to On the Turquoise Trail, a feature article that delves into New Mexico's turquoise legacy and the people who keep its azure spirit alive today.

A Patchwork Person
Every journalist has a novel (or novels). In this case, it's a postmodern metaphysical detective fiction-memoir story, a genre-bouncing tale of a lost stepfather, a search ranging from California to Illinois to Arkansas and an investigation of how childhood influences make a person.
A Patchwork Person is the anchor of my MFA dissertation project, The Buried Train.
