Professional Experience

Internationally published writer, specializing in business topics, with a little feature work thrown in for good measure. I've covered subjects from OPEC to central banks use of gold in currency reserves. I've also foraged for wild plants in Asheville, N.C., and found the best places for hard cider in Michigan.
