It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap... I think I'll try defying gravity...

About Me

Paintball has taken over my life.I have a tank. (Yes, it really moves, Yes, it shoots. My husband built it. It's based on an S-10 Blazer. It kicks ass and don't ask me for a ride!). It was featured as a Player Card in the current issue of Recon magazine.

I am a freelance writer in the paintball industry, working with Paintball Sports Magazine, Paintball News, and the coolest company in paintball: Special Ops! :) I also write tons of other things, including personal essays, poetry, and articles for various trade magazines.

My dream is to write for a big-name consumer mag like Jane, Cosmo or Maxim.

I live on Long Island (for now) with my husband and four spoiled cats: Xena, Ghost, Onyx, and Panzer.
