Hi there. Welcome to my Web site. I am currently in the process of redesigning the site and hope to have it finished soon. In the meantime, I'll share a little information about me. I am multimedia journalist who graduated from the University of Arizona School of Journalism in May 2008.

Before I graduated, I worked for AzStarNet.com, the online home of the Arizona Daily Star newspaper.  Sometime soon, I'll add my résumé to the site so that you can see examples of my work. 

Shortly before I graduted, I was offered a posistion in the UA School of Journalism as an instructional technology support adjunct. I develop Web sites for use in classes and work with students on the creation of multimedia projects. 

I hope to have more added to the Web site soon, but in the meantime, you can e-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or follow me on twitter at twitter.com/mikeonline. 

Thanks again for stopping by.

Wanting to do a short summer tour by bike PDF Print E-mail

I've been following Ryan VanDuzer on his Web site and twitter feed for the last week or so. Ryan is treking across the country on his 3 speed New Belgium Brewery cruiser bike. He started last week in Oceanside, CA.

A last minute change in his route brought him to Tucson. Originally he planned on going north through Flagstaff, but the hills were more scary than the heat. I met Ryan this afternoon at a coffee shop and hung out with him for a while. He is a really laid back guy who loves riding his bike. He doesn't even own a car. 

His ride got me thinking about touring. It seems like such a fun way to travel. You must see more that way. My goal for this summer is to get a few poeple together to do a short trip somewhere in Southern Arizona. Ultimately, I'd like to ride somewhere in one day, camp a night or two and then head back home. Any takers?

In any event, good luck Ryan. It was a pleasure meeting you.
