Hi there!
My name is Corey. I'm a writer and podcaster from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Right now, I'm working on a thriller/suspense novel based on the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for National Novel Writing Month, but usually, I can be found writing compelling copy for businesses and organizations. My focus thus far has been largely centered on the tourism and hospitality industry, but I'm working toward entering into the world of B2B direct response copywriting.

Background
I attended Hawaii Pacific University for Political Science, but quickly learned my blood pressure couldn't handle the world of politics on a daily basis, so instead, I found a career that doesn't make me crazy.

I grew up in Indiana, but have also lived in Hawai'i, Florida, Louisiana, Ohio, and now, Tennessee. I'm a wanderer, I suppose.

Interests
When I'm not writing, I enjoy researching some of the more obscure bits of history. In fact, I love it so much that I decided to make a podcast about it called Omitted.

Here's an example of what I mean when I say the "obscure bits":

While I love learning about the attack on Pearl Harbor, the most interesting aspects of the attack, in my opinion, are things like the Niihau incident, the submarine capture of Kazuo Sakamaki, and the subsequent attack on Howland Island.

I'm also a huge fan of Mormon history, with a great deal of love for the story of James Strang.
