About

I’ve recently finished my master’s in book publishing (ok, technically it’s a master’s in writing with a concentration in book publishing) from Portland State University, where I got to be very involved in PSU’s Ooligan Press, the student-run publishing house that is the centerpiece of the publishing program. My particular interest in publishing is in the future of the industry, and of books in general. I’m especially interested in transmedia and new media.

If you’re interested in the sort of work I do, feel free to browse my final portfolio for the program.

I’m also a sometime writer, a gamer, a reader of quality SF and fantasy, and a fencer. I’ve done plenty of traveling, and for 8 years or so I worked on Tall Ships as deckhand, bosun, and eventually mate.
