I've worked for several newspapers, daily and weekly, as an editor, copy editor, reporter and columnist, and I've worked several side gigs to ride out the bad times newspapers have plunged themselves into. I live in Olympia, Washington, and I am a graduate of Western Washington University in Bellingham and Browne Elementary School in Spokane. I have two children, a son and and a son, In my spare time I shoot free throws, take yoga and play ping-pong.
