Unforgettable content, unbeatable strategy

United States

I'm a veteran writer, editor and producer with more than two decades of experience developing, creating and managing content and content strategies for major brands and large audiences. As a creative strategist I've worked on playbooks for one-off and always-on social media campaigns, in oversight as well as hands-on roles. I have deep experience seeing these types of projects from conception to post-mortem. The goal every day is to make something incredible that over-delivers on results.

I specialize in copywriting, editing, script writing, video production, social media, longform articles, blog posts and more. Past and present clients include Cracked.com, Nitro Circus, Whipclip, Demand Media, The Hollywood Reporter, Back Stage magazine, TelevisionWeek.
