After spending my entire childhood in the same house in Kansas City, Kansas, I headed west to Los Angeles, where I earned my bachelor’s degree at the University of Southern California. Eleven moves later, I found myself in the heart of Kansas.
I’ve lived in the suburbs, I’ve lived in the heart of one of the country’s biggest cities. I’ve lived by mountains, I’ve lived near the ocean. But it wasn’t until I began to explore the prairies and little towns of Kansas that I really found home. I fell in love with the landscape, the history, and the people.
Aside from a variety of day jobs, I am a writer and collector of local history. I photograph headstones for Find-A-Grave and search for the stories of the people those headstones belong to.
I have completed a non-fiction manuscript about the 1925 murder of Florence Knoblock, a farm woman who lived in Coffey County, Kansas, and am working on a novel set in Kansas. Some of my work has made it way to Legends of America and Guinea Pig Magazine.
