Well, I'm a 21-year-old senior newspaper journalism major at the University of Missouri-Columbia for starters. I grew up in rural northwestern Missouri in a town of about 3,000, and I'll be looking to score a job at a newspaper or a magazine come May - let me know if you have the hookup

I'm a huge Chiefs, Royals and Seinfeld fan, and there is very little I enjoy more than being engaged in witty banter.

Other than that, I just like to write, like I'm sure you all do. Most of my stuff I've posted on Facebook and was written for my friends/friends of friends, some of which you'll see reflected in my "Living the Dream" story, and I can usually score a good laugh with wit and/or absurdity. Serious fiction writing I consider to be a serious weakness of mine.


If you get a shot, look over my stories, and let me know what you think. I'd be more than happy to do the same.
