I live in Knoxville, Tennessee, where I work with rural people to increase their access to clean water, internet, cheap electricity, shelter, and safety. My work experience includes arts education in a K-5 setting, archival research, website design, and presentation for the local PBS channel, data collection for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee, and various types of outdoor trail work and disaster relief. I write about all of these subjects, and more, in both a journalistic and creative context. I also offer my services as an editor.
