I’m about to wrap up my fifth year as a freelance writer. Clients have come and gone, but somehow the bills keep getting paid (thank you, Lord!).

The biggest change of the past few years was the transition I made from the Topeka Capital-Journal to Top Sports.news in terms of local sports writing. The routine remained more or less the same, but I appreciate the opportunity Rick Peterson and TopSports offered.

I continue providing communications support to Jobs for America’s Graduates-Kansas. I love being a part of a great team and working for such a worthwhile cause.

My biggest news is that, coming soon, I will be promoting the memoir I helped Dr. Walt Menninger write. It was a great honor to work with him for the past several years to produce Like What You Do. It is the story of his life wrapped around 12 of his most profound and memorable speeches from his long and impactful career. The book will be meaningful to anyone interested in psychiatry, but will also appeal to Kansans (Topekeans, specifically) and anyone who loves history. It’s been a great pleasure to work with Thea Rademacher and Flint Hills Publishing on this project.

I’m ready for the next big endeavor, but I am relishing time to work on my own passion projects. More to come on that in due time.
