Professional Experience
Here I was thinking I was the only writer who had a 'special flair' and who was willing to 'dig deeper' and 'keep the reader coming back for more' - but it turns out all 800 writers listed here have those same talents.
I have experience in a variety of media and formats: I wrote a technology book that I'm 60-70% certain my mother purchased, although she changes the subject whenever I ask. I've done travel writing, ghost writing, newspaper articles; and I've written and illustrated enough corporate white papers, one-pagers, marketing slicks, success stories, and technical documentation to clog even the best shredder.
I gravitate toward the following topics: technology, business, travel, history, military affairs, and gambling. (My ideal assignment would therefore be about a craps-playing general from the Napoleon's Grande Armee' who just invested in an Internet startup headquartered in an exotic foreign locale.)

Other Work History
I'm actually a fulltime IT project manager with a part-time freelance writing habit. I'm obsessive about good writing and editing and I take my assignments very seriously. I am always looking for a new juicy assignment. (And by 'juicy', I mean, the checks don't bounce.)
