About Me
Seriously? I'm a freelance sports and fitness writer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I specialize in features on hockey, cycling, mountain biking and any other sport i'm assigned to
(bowling, women's professional football, high school soccer and basketball, golf, hang gliding, etc.).
I
love learning new stuff.
My high points include interviews with Hockey Hall of Fame-er Bobby Orr, US Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Mike Richter, UFC pro Keith Jardine (the "Dean of Mean"), cycling team
Astana's Chris Horner as well as Beijing Olympians Geoff Kabush, Joey Hagerty and John Gall. My strength - my passion - is interviewing people about their lives,
their sport, their work. I've profiled a district judge, firefighter, air traffic controller, a couple film critics and a hockey referee among others, and interviewed NRDC
senior scientist Allen Hershkowitz.
I've been published in
Women's Health,
The Hockey News, and
Rugby Magazine and i'm a
frequent contributor to
Albuquerque The Magazine and
New Mexico Business Weekly.
Yes. I'm one of those people who swear, one day, my friggin' book will be published (after the rewrite).
I spend my free time mountain biking (since 1997). I was featured in
"Women Who Move"
(second photo is from series used for magazine) in the March/April 2007 issue of
Her Sports + Fitness. I've
been cycling since winning a race-ready Trek in a Tour de France sweepstakes (see
Women's Health, July/August 2007). Seeing a high-profile cycling race in-person is bizarre and wonderful. I was at the Tour de Georgia in 2005,
Giro d' Italia in 2006 and Tour of California in 2009.
Last year i retired from both co-ed hockey (1998-2009) and officiating (USA Ice Hockey official 2001-09) to get more sleep and teach
group exercise classes (certified in April 2009). I'm enrolled in a Fitness Technician certificate program.
Other thrilling experiences include my
second big radio moment as a guest on Albuquerque's 101.7 FM The Team in October
2008. I keep the faith that one day, Jim Rome will call. (Dream big, eh?)
Any questions?
