Professional/Personal Overview
  More often than ever before, clients say "We want media. We want media. We want media." Media is what matters most.

Media results are instantly tangible, and lose nothing in translation. It's right there in plain sight.

I know media. I know how reporters think and how producers operate. I know who covers what where, and how to make the best case for my clients. I pitch smart, and deliver the results.

My job is to connect clients to this key constituency. To generate coverage targeted to a given audience.

I help PR teams and clients figure out the right story to tell—and how to tell that story right. I also make a point of advising clients on media matters with utmost candor. I may disagree with a client over what kind of information is newsworthy, and never hesitate to say so.

Don' t let anyone pull fancy wool over your eyes that they have The technique that works all the time. No one does, no one can. I come very close though.
