User:MGL1977

My name is Michael G. Lortz and I am a writer from Tampa, Florida.

Although unpublished in recent years, I wrote for the FSView and Florida Flambeau in Tallahassee, Fla. for 2 years and completed my academic work with a master's thesis on the history of the Kurdish Peshmerga. (See sources on the Peshmerga page for details.)

I have also been a member of the City of Tampa Chamber of Commerce Young Professional Leadership Organization, or Emerge Tampa Bay.
