Thank you for stopping by to get to know a little more about me. If you’re interested in my writing, please take a look at my copywriting portfolio or my list of published fiction and awards.
When I’m not writing copy or fiction, there’s a good chance that I’m running. I live in Minneapolis near a lake called Bde Maka Ska that features running and bike paths. I used to run marathons, but those days are behind me. In 2002, I turned my running of the Twin Cities Marathon into a DIY fundraiser for the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
I read everything I can get my hands on, especially novels and short stories. I’m also a news and political junkie, so I read that stuff too. I listen to Minnesota Public Radio and watch the PBS NewsHour on Twin Cities Public Television with my partner. (I’m a long-time member of both MPR and TPT.)
My partner, Ken Sakurai, is an amazingly talented graphic designer from Yokohama, Japan. We like to go for walks together, cook, travel, and attend Minneapolis block parties. (Okay, he does most of the cooking.) At the end of the day, we both agree there’s nothing better than a hoppy west coast IPA.
