I was trained as a general assignment reporter at one of the nation's top J-schools (University of Florida). Over the years I have written about adoption, agriculture, business, food, history, people, religion, travel, writing and other subjects. I have a lengthy and eclectic bibliograph of published work. I taught news and feature writing and PR at the university level for several years. I am semi-retired and write primarily for my own amusement. I welcome a challenge.
