about
I am a Minneapolis-based writer. I do a lot of other things, too--design, photograph, edit, create shamelessly self-promotional web sites. . . . But mostly I write. Primarily first-person travel narratives. Want to read some? Here ya go.
My articles, essays, and commentaries have appeared in World Hum (the Travel Channel's online magazine), The Star Tribune, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, American Bungalow, Vita.mn, American Lifestyle, and other publications.
I'm currently working on a book about my recent Not-So-Grand Tour of Europe, during which I was guided only by a 1963 copy of Arthur Frommer’s Europe on Five Dollars a Day. Visit the book web site to learn more, read an excerpt, and see some photos.
I graduated from Carleton College with a degree in American Studies, and can tell you way more about the social significance of diners than you ever wanted to know. (Tip: in the Twin Cities, go to the Band Box; Mickey's is for tourists.)
