I began as a Forbes.com Media and Entertainment Contributor in April 2017 after years of contributing entertainment and sports features for local and national outlets in Austin, Texas, and Denver, Colo. Past bylines have appeared in The Austin Chronicle, The Austin American-Statesman, Austin Monthly, 5280 Magazine, The Week and numerous others. I hold a Master's degree in English after receiving my educations from the University of Colorado and St. Edward's University. As a Denver native, I love my hometown but am currently enjoying the fairly dizzying experience of living in the entertainment capital of the world.
