About Me

I've published about 10 books and a couple of thousand articles over the past decade or so while working as a magazine editor. I'm a strong believer in relentlessly learning something new every day. And I like to share those learnings through my Practical Guides—fun and lighter-side approaches to new skills and knowledge. I'm a firm believer that learning doesn't have to be a chore. It's OK to have some fun in the process.

I finished college and earned my Master of Business Administration about a hundred years ago. Before shifting gears and wading into the writing business, I spent a couple of decades in high-tech corporate marketing. Then I opened a restaurant, which was a really bad idea. I don't recommend it to anyone.

I'm a voracious reader, having filled my house with books and melting three Kindles, topically alternating between history, humor and well-written crime and suspense novels.
