Bio

I work with authors from all walks of life to complete their novels, autobiographies, travel guides - even their erotica - and prepare them to submit to publishers. I coach scientists and grad students to organize and clarify their writing, and edit their dissertations and publications. I have mediated hundreds of community, family, small claims, business, and organizational disputes. I am expert in agricultural animal waste-to-resource, open-channel irrigation, and floodplain management issues. I have a rich musical life performing strange ambient soundscapes on the electric guitar, performing in acoustic guitar ensembles, recording music, playing in bands - lots of music.
