I am an expert writer, first and foremost. I'm also a sharp, decisive, collaborative-when-needed editor. If it has words, it's in my area of expertise.
I have years of experience writing and editing marketing, brand, UX, and creative messaging in the B2C and B2B tech sphere for digital and print channels. I also excel in writing messaging for creative campaigns, acquisition and retention strategy, product and feature launches, and more. I have the most experience writing for web/digital (landing pages, headlines, etc.) and email (leads acquisition, feature awareness, winback, retention, etc.) but am confident in ads, blog, editorial, video, brochures and white papers, and just about anything else. I am also experienced in UX writing working in collaboration with designers on projects like in-app copy and notifications, service emails, purchase and cart flow, web pages, and more.
Experienced in use of Outlook, Google Suite, Figma, Wrike, JIRA, and more.
I’m the author of thirteen YA books published by EPIC Press, a division of ABDO publishing. I love to read and write fiction. In my spare time I love to hike and camp, go to the beach, and travel with my wife, who is a veterinarian.

We spotted the owl in our backyard a few days after my surgery, perched on a palm tree branch of all things. In our yard we also have mature spruce and pine, even redwood trees, but maybe he just l...
Forty antral follicles is too many. If you think, as I did, the more the merrier, you'd be wrong.
There are a lot of angles to look at a negative pregnancy test, from the inches-away-squint to the flashlight-illuminating inspection, but all of them feel like a hand stuck deep into black water, the emptiness of clutching at your caved-in stomach, the hollowed-out tree sensation that comes only from losing something you've never seen or held in your hands, a dream hissing toward death as the sun rises and the dark, safe places are set on fire.
My sister had recently gotten a slingshot and it was magnificent. She abandoned it within hours but I’d become attached to the mechanism and could now shoot things with the accuracy of a 21st-century, mostly-gay Annie Oakley (what was I going to do about that though, really, oh god what was I going to do).
We have been trying to kill my father for a long time. The first attempts, admittedly, were clumsy. My sister and I pushed him off the edge of Longdrop Gorge, which was his first request. It was a long fall. When we reached him at the bottom, expecting to find a soulless body, his bones...
On my sixteenth birthday my friend Christopher, who lived two blocks away from my house on the hill, climbed the ladder to my treehouse at twilight. I sat cross-legged as he presented me with my birthday presents: an old sweatshirt of his I stole every chance I got, a handwritten note, and a box of sugar cubes. He sat with me as I opened the box and munched on the cubes raw, letting the sugar dissolve on my tongue or crunching them into pieces. My grandmother made raspberry jam bursting...
Your vision is unfocused, voices and faces distorted, as though you're watching from beneath an ocean wave. The surface is in sight, but you're weighed down with legs like lead and distracted by your own ceaseless, ticking heart. Somewhere below, detached and drifting, you bear witness for the girl with defiant eyes.
