An editor’s letter for a Vox magazine issue on Aug. 4, 2011 featuring Ozark pigs and the race to save them from extinction My mom overuses the expression “This house is a 200.” But during my childhood, that phrase was quite fitting. My dad was a middle school life science teacher. He did more than […]
An editor’s letter for a Vox magazine issue on Jul. 21, 2011 featuring a preview of the new show Truck Stop Missouri Anyone who knows me can confirm that I have an addiction to television. I consume ridiculous amounts of it. I’m often asked how I am able to get things done, watch all my […]
An editor’s letter for a Vox magazine issue on Jun. 30, 2011 featuring an interview with a fireworks expert and a Fourth of July events calendar It’s a miracle that I still have all my fingers and toes. Most of the year, I have a normal respect for fire, but when it nears July 4, […]
An editor’s letter for a Vox magazine issue on Jun. 23, 2011 featuring a profile on prize-winning gardeners and a meteorologist It doesn’t have a great view, but my balcony is useful.

An editor’s letter for a Vox magazine issue on Jun. 9, 2011 featuring a local ice cream guide I am a sugar addict. I think people who say they don’t like sweet things have serious issues. I love brownies, cookies, cakes, cupcakes and, most importantly. ice cream. If someone says he or she doesn’t like […]

Unless you’re a student or teacher, summer probably doesn’t provide more free time. However, year after year, everyone l know creates to-do lists full of […]
An editor’s letter for the Vox special budget travel issue on Mar. 17, 2011 I learned at a young age how to vacation on a budget. Until I was in middle school, I thought a vacation meant driving 18 long hours from my house in Bartlesville, Okla., to my grandparents’ house in Rapid City, S.D. […]
During graduate school at the University of Missouri, I worked at Vox Magazine, a weekly city magazine that is part of the city’s newspaper, The Missourian. I served as a back of book editor, but for the Budget Travel issue in March 2011, I was the special issue editor. I conceptualized, assigned, and edited the […]
Art writing in the Mar. 4, 2010 issue of Vox magazine Peter Miyamoto is an athlete. You’d never guess it, but when he sits down at the 88 black and white keys of the grand piano, he exudes energy and strength. He sways with the music. His fingers fly over the keys. “His little finger […]
Art & Design writing in the Feb. 18, 2010 issue of Vox magazine Jim Dodson liked art, but he hated drawing. When he discovered graphic design at technical school, he knew he had found the type of art for him. “Bells went off like — that’s it,” Dodson says. “That’s my passion. That’s what I […]
