About Me:

I am a freelance writer, copy editor, and entrepreneur.

After various jobs in the music, accounting, and TV production industries, I quit my last office job in 2005 to freelance in the poker world.

I have written about poker players, tournaments, legal developments, and general gambling news for more than a decade. My work has been published in magazines and on websites. My personal favorites are interview-driven articles featuring players, their experiences and perspectives. I enjoy telling people's stories and offering insight into lives lived off the beaten path.

​

In the past few years, my poker work has appeared in the USA Today Sports section, as well as almost daily on Poker Update and now Legal US Poker Sites. I was also responsible for all of the news links/summaries and site administration for PokerScout for nearly six years.

​

As for my foray into work outside of the gambling world, I recently wrote for an upstart, left-leaning news website called Reality Watchdog. And my first piece on a famous Italian neighborhood in St. Louis appeared in the Summer 2017 magazine issue of Italian America.

I recently moved back to my hometown of St. Louis after living in Los Angeles for 14 years and Las Vegas for two years. I live with my two dogs in St. Louis County. I volunteer with several organizations to help feed the unhoused in St. Louis City and fight for racial justice.
