I work with words. Discovering ideas. Getting out information. Telling amazing stories.
I love the challenge and creativity of effective communication using words.

Quick and urgent question: Do you take a carbon monoxide detector every time you travel?
No? Then your life, your partner’s, your children’s, and those you love lives’ are at risk. Yes, it’s that dangerous. People are dying and being injured forever, including severe brain injuries, in hotels and motels, fancy resorts, cruise ships, Airbnbs, Verbos, beach houses, mountain cabins, camper vans, power boats, and your child’s friend’s house down the street — in any country, at any price, anywhere one may choose to be has potential danger from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Despite years of telling my family’s story and urging everyone I speak with to always have a CO detector with them, it is alarming to me how frequently people are dying and being disable for life — all for not having a simple CO detector.

It’s a compelling real-life adventure with remarkable characters, heartache, humor, and triumph. A fascinating and important true story that will move your mind and touch your heart. Read more about A Normal Life.
