Bio

I'm married with two kids - one is a twenty-month old girl named Sophie. The other is a cat named Sneezer. I'm a government lawyer by day, writer by night. My essays - both humorous and serious - as well as short stories can be read at www.carnivalofglee.com. I've also been a newspaper reporter, humor columnist, and freelance writer. I've been on stage in a number of community and professional theatre productions including "Diary of Anne Frank," "Our Town," "Crimes of the Heart," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and several others. Recently, two short plays I wrote titled "All There Is" (drama) and "You Stole My Pancreas" (comedy - as if the title didn't give that away) were awarded showcase performances in the Quad City Playwrights' Festival.

What's your favorite public radio show?

"Fresh Air" is great. Also "Talk of the Nation," "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," "Whad'ya Know," and just about everything else I listen to too. Every one of the hosts on these shows make me feel like I'm just sitting across from them at a table parsing out issues or sharing a laugh. That's good radio.

What's your secret talent?

Origami. Kidding, though I did buy an actual origami kit once. It's still unopened.

What song is stuck in your head right now, you know, a music wedgie?

"Head Shoulders Knees and Toes." I did mention I have a twenty-month old daughter, right?

What sound is most characteristic of where you live?

Sophie laughing.

What's your favorite sound memory?

Sophie saying "Daddy funny" and laughing at little more than me walking in after a long day at work.

Which station do you listen to most?

WSUI
