Articles
I don’t know what possessed me to start pitching magazines and newspapers when I was barely a teenager, but not realizing there were rules about such things (and unsure of what the word “no” meant), I kept at it and found myself with a pretty decent resume by the time I left high school. Since then, my articles have appeared in Glamour, Maxim, Rolling Stone, Variety, Out, Whole Life Times, Angeleno, Yoga Journal, Body and Soul, Business Traveler, AOL, Fashion Magazine, Chicago Sun Times, Brand X and many others. A small sampling of some of my recent work:
