Experience
I started working with Boise State Public Radio in 2018, first as a freelance podcaster of You Know The Place, and later as a contract producer for Reader’s Corner. The former ran for six award-winning seasons, visiting funeral homes, ostrich farms and nude retreats for the story. The latter is now in its 22nd year of interviewing NYT-bestselling, Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning authors.
I’m a writer and a reader at heart. In my 9-5, I work as the public programs manager at The Cabin, a literary arts nonprofit, where I create events with people like Ira Glass, Louise Erdrich, Amor Towles, Nicola Yoon and Elizabeth Gilbert, among others. I’m always plugging away at a story or script, when I’m not traveling with my bride or telling my kitties to get off the counter.
