All my life, there have really only been two things that I’m good at—stringing together words on a page, and understanding science. Thirty years later, I’m finally putting them together. A graduate of the Johns Hopkins Masters in Science and Medical Writing program, I specialize in breaking down complicated ideas and explaining them in ways that are both easy and fun to read.

When not working on science writing, I also enjoy dabbling in fantasy and science fiction. I’m also responsible for several highly-rated sourcebooks for tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons.
