Hello!
I am a freelance writer and photographer specializing
in the "green" movement, nature, wildlife,
the environment and both humorous and inspirational
human interest topics. My articles and photographs have
appeared in many publications
including Florida
Gardening, Florida Sportsman, E - The Environmental
Magazine, BassTimes, Spirituality and Health, Florida
Wildlife, South Carolina Wildlife, Spaces
and others.
Why I write As trite and corny as it may sound, I write
to try to make a positive difference in the world. My
primary focus is in teaching people what they can do,
as individuals, to make the world a better place. Depending
on the topic, my writing is often educational, upbeat,
or inspirational. I rarely accept writing assignments
in which I cannot portray a positive message of some
sort.
I have a personal interest in writing articles that
encourage others to get eye-to-eye with wildlife and
nature so that they will gain the respect necessary
to help protect the environment. I strive to achieve
this goal through my articles, photographs and websites,
as well as working with various local and national groups
and organizations. I also thoroughly enjoy writing motivational,
spiritual and inspirational pieces.
Of course, I do welcome writing assignments on other
topics.
Background
I have always had a strong interest in writing and
nature. I began freelance writing for several local
publications in the nineties, including a small newsletter
that I self-published entitled Going For It!!! Helping
You Make Your Life and Your World a Better Place. My
first paid freelance writing assignments began in 1998
and have been building with a pleasantly steady momentum
since then.
Prior to dedicating my time to freelance writing and
photography, my work background included ten years working
at a public library, which provided me invaluable research
skills; and ten years in the computer support department
of a large local electronics firm, which helped improve
both my people and problem solving skills.
Other projects
When I'm not freelance writing or taking photographs,
I devote time to maintaining several websites
to try to help educate and encourage others to
appreciate and protect the natural world around
them. Two of the most popular of those sites are
Project
Backyard Brevard, which was created to help
preserve the beauty of the county in which I live,
and Take
Care of Your Share, which was created to help
preserve the beauty of the rest of the world.
I can also create brochures and materials to help
educate your customers or clients about ways to
protect the local environment from the actions
they take in their own homes and yards.
Please contact me to discuss how I can help your
publication or organization in promoting the appreciation
of nature. For your immediate needs, I have photographs
and articles on many topics. Or I will be happy
to create an article, website or brochure for
your specific needs.
