What is the aim or goal of your writing: I'm a fervent fan of local history. I enjoy bringing to life the personalities and adventures of historical figures whose contributions continue to impact the present. After earning a master's degree in journalism from Michigan State University, I have worked for several regional publications, writing about everything from business to religion and history.
