I am currently serving in the Kansas House of Representatives, for the 102nd House District in Hutchinson. If you’re interested in reading more about my work there, visit my website probstforprogress.com
That gig doesn’t pay a whole lot, though, so I also work as a writer-for-hire, doing contract writing, as well as strategic planning and consulting. A few of my clients include BowerComm, Hutchinson Regional Healthcare Systems, and the Stage 9/Hutchinson Theater Guild. I’m always looking for new clients – and would love the chance to sit down and visit with you about your company’s needs.
I previously worked as the news editor for the Hutchinson News. I managed a staff of 13 that included reporters, a graphic artist, clerks, and online editors. I also wrote incendiary editorials and columns that sometimes led to people doing things like putting my digital face on a digital roll of toilet paper. But I’ve received some nice emails and letters, too, so it all balances out.
Otherwise, I spend a lot of time biking, fishing and doing other activities that keep me outside. Occasionally, I’ll try to paint – though I’m terrible at it. There’s not much I won’t try, which is sometimes good, and sometimes bad – like that time I ate a fish eyeball because a foreign exchange student from China said it was good. She was wrong.
