About me
I’m a Fort Worth native who’s been writing about my hometown since 1992, when I joined the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Over a 26-year career there — 14 years on staff and 12 as a freelancer — I traveled across town, the state, and the country, writing about music, pop culture, food, and people, both famous and unsung, from Billy Joel to a young high school couple in love in a small Texas town.
My work has appeared in the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Orlando Sentinel, American Way, Texas Music, Pop Culture Press, and MTV.com. I currently freelance for Fort Worth Magazine and CultureMap.
This site is an ongoing work in progress, updated regularly with new stories and older work spanning my now 30-year-plus career.
