I had great time working for a Webby Award-winning parenting website for a few years. This included reviewing water parks and other family attractions, as part of the job. At least briefly, my kids thought I was cool.

Life as a freelance writer isn’t always that much fun. My experience also includes reporting on local government meetings, publishing newsletters for businesses and municipalities, and writing feature articles on Ohio’s people and places. (I love travel writing!) I have been a regular contributor to major metropolitan newspapers (remember those?) and trade and consumer magazines, with bylines in Cleveland Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio Magazine, Cleveland Parent, Christian Science Monitor, Computer Buyers Guide & Handbook, TechEdge, and others. I have ghostwritten articles appearing in Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. Sometimes even I’m a bit surprised at some of the things I write – of course, I only do the interviewing and research; the expert sources deserve the credit.
