I’m a New York Times published writer and author, voice actor (SAG-AFTRA) and digital consultant.
I’ve narrated over 300 professional audiobooks in all genres, but with a strong emphasis in romance (under a different name).
As a freelance digital consultant for nearly a decade, with expertise in SEO and ads support, I’ve loved working with clients on short- and long-term projects, helping with both brand presentation and keyword targeting for high quality traffic from new customers.
FREELOADING (2012), an exploratory critique of c. 2010 digital utopianism and its justifications for digital piracy, was published in seven territories.
The artist David Byrne championed the book, inviting me to join him as a co-headliner at the New York Public Library LIVE at NYPL series. We participated in further media appearances and activism.
Along with guitarist, author and activist Marc Ribot, I organized and emcee’d the Artist Pay For Radio Play rally in NYC, which was covered by Billboard, The New York Times and Newsweek. Participants included David Byrne, Rosanne Cash, Jason Moran, John McCrea, Mike Mills, Tift Merritt, Ceramic Dog, Elysian Fields and others.
I co-founded The Wake, an award-winning student magazine at University of Minnesota that is celebrating 23 years in print.
After two decades in New York City—okay, technically 17—I now live with my family on the under-the-radar east coast of Wisconsin, near Milwaukee. I’m currently at work on a novel, based within a major news network in the immediate aftermath of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
