ABOUT ME Former journalist for the U.S. Antarctic Program, which means I wrote about all of the cool research that happens around the southernmost continent. Now a freelance writer and editor who is taking the next year or so off to travel with my awesome girlfriend and partner, Mel, who is a professional massage therapist, foodie-chef, and too many other things to name.
