MY LIFE'S WORK | I tell stories for a living. All kinds of stories.
EXPERT WORDSMITH | I help you find your voice, then put it into words, with a unique ability to see your big picture.
IDOL MAKER | I use language that brings your story to life. That engages your audience, peaks interest, action, even admiration.
ÜBER PRODUCER | I organize the details and work with all sorts of creative partners to pair your words seamlessly with pictures or graphics, or both.
RULE BREAKER | I’ve produced hundreds of entertainment program promotion packages, sales presentations and brand campaigns, established creative departments and developed projects, blogged on diverse subjects, orchestrated press coverage and managed media campaigns for a number of top tier clients and small businesses. I play by the rules, and know when to break them.
MY SECRET | Choose a job you love, never work another day.
