A full-time freelance writer since 1996, I work for print and online publications worldwide. Food writer and restaurant critic for Orlando Magazine, James Beard Foundation regional judge, trained chef, and avid, but not snobby, advocate of good wine. I'm a travel writer, theater and music critic, copy writer, tech-head, award-winning playwright. I write compelling views of people and ideas, traveling (and eating) in the world's great cities.
If you need engaging writing and fast, accurate work, ad copy or web content, corporate profiles or an updated website ... let's talk.

Randall Made Knives has been there ever since.
