I have been a career journalist for more than 25 years, as a writer and editor in Denver and New York City. I was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team in Denver and managed much of Bloomberg News Services's 9/11 coverage in Manhattan. I am currently a freelance writer, editor and marketing consultant.
