Welcome to my spot on the World Wide Web! :-)
I've been a professional writer since 1986, when I joined the United States Navy and worked as a cryptologist for four years. After earning an undergraduate degree in Print Journalism with a minor in English, I took a position as a general assignment reporter for a small paper in rural Tennessee. Then, the Internet and its World Wide Web arrived. In 1994, I combined my technology training from the military with my reporting skills and spent the next 30-odd years writing in the corporate workforce in such positions as technical writer, project manager, marketing coordinator, marketing director, and Webmaster.
