In the summer of 2003, I decided to follow my passion for writing and I've never looked back. I am in love with telling stories. To me, the elements of writing are lot like piecing together a puzzle. Every fact, interview, and emotion represents one piece. My job is to gather the pieces and put them together to create a picture that draws people in, makes them think, and changes the way they see the world around them. Whether it's a heart-rendering story of faith, a piece of ad copy designed to guide potential customers toward a business, or a news story seeking to inform readers, it's all one piece of a very big picture, and I take my responsibility to paint that picture very seriously...but not so seriously that I can't still have a blast doing it.
