PERSONAL NOTE
I have been fascinated by writing and the brain for most of my life. I am always looking for opportunities to
combine my two collegiate interests, both in my non-fiction and fiction work, and have a special vested
interest in stress, anxiety, and fear research. I play saxophone when I'm not writing. When not playing
saxophone, I walk in the mountains and find new stand-up comedians to memorize and admire.
