About

Hello! Thanks for stopping by.

I’m the author of an unpublished manuscript entitled A Better Train Than Never. I started writing it in 2019 and have been working on it full-steam for the last two years.

I’m from Arizona, where I enjoy hiking in the desert when it isn’t too hot and escaping to the mountains when it is. I earned my BS and MA from Arizona State University.

I previously worked as a teacher and researcher at ASU’s Lodestar Center, where I wrote reports, newsletters, and managed a blog. I also co-founded and served as CFO of AppointmentPlus, a start-up technology company that sold in 2020 after nearly twenty years in business.

And I’ve spent many summers as a camp director and trainer. My thoughts on what makes a great youth summer camp can be found here.
