I am a freelance space writer with a life-long passion for space exploration and astronomy. I started my blog Planetaria (formerly The Meridiani Journal) in 2005, which is a chronicle of planetary exploration:

I also publish The Exoplanet Report e-paper. In 2011, I started writing about space on a freelance basis, and currently write for AmericaSpace (since 2012). I have also written for Universe Today and SpaceFlight Insider, have been published in The Mars Quarterly and have done supplementary writing for the well-known iOS app Exoplanet for iPhone and iPad.

I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada, nestled between the scenic mountains and ocean of the Pacific west coast.
