Professional wordsmith. Oxford comma agnostic. Hole digger — both literal and figurative.

I am a jack of all trades and a master of, like, one. Two, tops. It depends on how much coffee I’ve consumed. (No spoilers, but coffee drinking may or may not be one of those trades.)

I have strong opinions about em dashes, split infinitives, use (and misuse) of “literally,” passive voice, and sentences that start with a conjunction or end with a preposition. I am, however, surprisingly ambivalent about the Oxford comma. (Ask me why.)

I am a self-taught Sherpa who refuses to make more than one trip from the car when bringing in groceries. I can dig a mean hole — both literal and figurative. More importantly, I often say “I don’t know” and believe our world would be a better place if more people did the same.

I live in Delta, Colorado, with my unshakable wife, energetic sons (a precocious 7-year-old and an unruly 3-year-old), and a menagerie of animals named after food items.

Work Terms

I work the traditional work week (Monday through Friday), but, with appropriate planning, I make myself available for weekend. I community best via text message.
