Writer | Editor | Storyteller | Content Management Guru

United States

I’ve always been a writer. From keeping a journal as a kid to working my way through college, my aim was to make a living doing what I was most passionate about. Fortunately, it’s worked out.

Telling the stories of what makes businesses and their customers successful is what I continue to do best—in a creative and captivating manner, and in all ways digital, social, mobile and print.

And these days, I have as much fun and passion in doing it as ever.
