About Me
I was born in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, raised with cloth diapers and homeschooled until I was old enough to attend a two-room schoolhouse at a nearby commune. A love of story was instilled in me early on, and before I learned the alphabet I was stapling homemade books together, my scribbles in crooked lines from front to back.
Perhaps it was the stories I read that inspired me to pursue a career at sea. I now work on research vessels, which have taken me from the Azores to Antarctica, and through the Panama Canal. In between voyages, I spend as much time as possible in the Virginia sunshine, nestled between the Blue Ridge and the Appalachian Mountains.
