About the Rest of the Dirt

In addition to information about me, the site includes an archive of articles, a blog for racing fans, a blog describing a fitness journey I have embarked on, and a blog that is simply me writing about whatever is on my mind. The multimedia page is also for racing fans, and will include audio interviews with drivers, as well as actual race videos sent to me.

 

I have been an auto race fan since my dad took me to a dusty fairgrounds racetrack near our home in Fremont, Nebraska.  I canʼt even remember the exact year.  That track is long gone, but my passion for the sport never died.  I love the noise, the speed, the color, the excitement, and most especially, I love the people and their stories. I have written scores of articles for seven different racing publications.

 

I am a sports fan.  Anything that has to do with University of Nebraska athletics is as important to me as it is to most people in the Cornhusker State. Duke basketball is basketball played like it should be.  I like Green Bay Packer football, and sigh, I am a Chicago Cub fan.  I play golf, though I doubt Tiger Woods would recognize the game I play. 

 

As much as I like sports, I remain intrigued by business.  I worked for several different corporations in operations and financial management, and would like to put this experience to use as a freelancer.  From exporting popcorn to Japan to pouring concrete for a Missouri River bridge, I love writing about how companies work.

 

I am proud to be a member of the ASJA-American Society of Journalists and Authors, and currently serve on its Board of Directors as Treasurer.
