About Me

Background

I was born in Saginaw, Michigan.  Fun fact: Country and Western singer Lefty Frizzell had a hit song in the 1950s titled "Saginaw, Michigan."  Another fun fact: Simon and Garfunkle mentioned Saginaw in their song "America."

Newspaper career

I worked as an editor for newspapers in Idaho, Indiana and Utah. I also spent more than a decade as a sports writer covering the Utah Jazz and the NBA. I was named Utah Sports Writer of the Year in 1995.

Favorite authors

Some of my favorite authors include Flannery O'Connor, Malcolm Gladwell, Kent Haruf, Tobias Wolff, Brady Udall, Ron Carlson, Raymond Carver, Alice Munro, George Saunders, and Theodore Drieser, to name just a few.
