As a transportation and ag journalist, I "cover the waterfront"--that is, the inland barge and towing sector--for The Waterways Journal, a trade weekly that has published continuously since 1887. Time spent as a merchant seaman on both "blue water" and "brown water" vessels gave me a familiarity with the industry.
I contribute to High Plains Journal, a bi-weekly farm journal that targets farmers and their suppliers in the Upper Midwest. Topics range from corn financing, herbicides, soybean technology advances, plant genetics, to ag container imbalances and rural broadband spectrum auctions.
I have taught college literature and writing at a small private college while holding various full-time jobs in communications and writing.
My freelance articles have appeared in St. Louis magazine, First Things, The New Atlantis, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and elsewhere.
As a freelance writer my interests include all aspects of the food chain, energy, agricultural technology, higher education, shipping and maritime news, and the future of work.
All articles 100% written by me, no AI!
