I'm an avid traveler, do-it-yourselfer, financial news junkie, and shadetree mechanic. That's some mix of interests, huh? Since taking a self-imposed hiatus from the commercial construction industry in 2022, I've had hundreds of articles published under my byline for brands like Money Digest, SlashGear, MotorBiscuit, and many more. I'm a bona-fide workaholic who's always looking for new assignments, so please reach out if I can help you.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I had my own short-lived travel blog about a decade ago. But my first "real" writing job was doing features for TopSpeed, a Valnet brand.
