Lifewire represents a return to my first love—writing. I started out writing sports in high school and spent nearly 11 years in the print business. My career took me into public relations and overall communications, but I never lost my love for writing. Lifewire marks a full-circle return to where I started on this journey. I am enjoying the ride.
