I'm a writer based in Portland, Oregon. I mostly write for
Mental Floss magazine (and their website), though I recently had a story on
This American Life, and had a cover story last year in
The Portland Mercury.
You can
follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes, or
find me on Facebook for updates on writing and utterly shameless self-promotion.
I'm also a mobile website and smartphone app developer. I work for
Cloud Four. In years past, I worked with
Night & Day Studios; I helped create
Peekaboo Barn,
Peekaboo Wild,
Big Fat Lies,
Life in Short,
Cocktail Compass,
Nick Jr.'s A-Z With Moose and Zee,
Quibble,
Savage Love, and a bunch of other apps.

Hey Pat,
That's crazy -- we totally look alike, and it looks like he was born just two months before me. Small, small world. :)
