About Me

  • Although I write quite a bit about travel, food, books, business, and the media, I still consider myself a general assignment reporter and writer. I went freelance so that I could cover the world--no use limiting myself now.

    I'm a contributing editor for American Way, the American Airlines magazine, co-write Flyover America, and have also written for loads of other travel, food, book, and general interest magazines. I've also contributed to guidebooks for Michelin, Mobil Travel Guide, and MapQuest.

    Ready to put my curiosity, strong reporting skills, and wordplay (or photography) to work for your publication? Send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.

    (Oh, be sure to visit the haiku diaries where I'm living life 17 syllables at a time.)

American Way: Oklahoma City
February 1, 2009

The NBA may have lost its Sonic boom, but it's gained a more natural rumble. Following a lawsuit between the SuperSonics organization and its former host city, Seattle, the team's owners moved the franchise to Oklahoma City starting with the current 2008-'09 season. But the franchise didn't just change cities: It changed its identity. Now called the Thunder, the team gives Oklahoma City a permanent presence in the NBA.

In case you find yourself here come game day, check out our poll of the city's biggest boosters--its residents--on the best spots to eat at before and after the game as well as where, besides courtside, to cheer on the mighty Thunder. Since no one can live by basketball alone (okay, some can, but quite frankly, missing out on other Oklahoma City attractions would be a crime against fun and culture and steak), we also asked in-the-know residents for their locals-only knowledge of some of the city’s other must-see spots.

Find out who to see, do, and eat around OKC.
