Creativity is my muse; storytelling the means.
The message comes through no matter the medium.

An award-winning journalist with decades of writing and media experience, I nearly flunked college due to its rigorous writing requirement (and undiagnosed ADHD). So, I'm infinitely grateful to the professors and, later, editors who tortured me with the high standards that molded me into the writer I am today.
Being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder late in life was a defining moment that fundamentally improved how I live in the world of neurotypical people. That and more than a decade volunteering with several disability nonprofits has led me to focus my work on telling the stories of people who are underrepresented in media and are therefore not well understood.
My work has appeared in national and regional magazines and daily newspapers including the Christian Science Monitor, Narratively, Montana Quarterly, Mountain Outlaw, Mushing, Mainebiz, Cattle Business Weekly, Fine Art Connoisseur, Outside Bozeman, Bozeman Daily Chronicle and the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. I've also produced feature pieces for Maine Public Radio's Maine Things Considered and have been interviewed about the importance of local media on KGVM radio.
Copywriting, editing and proofreading clients include Intuit, eHow, The Rhodes Trust, Bozeman Health, HuffPost and The World Bank among others.
Known on the airwaves as JoDJ, I play an eclectic mix of music on KGLT radio and am a recovering triathlete living in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. I love all things yummy and cuddly and am open to considering all points of view. After all, communication leads to understanding. And understanding each other is the key to compassion and peace.
