I write for two reasons:

1. I have something to say.
2. Clients have something to say.

I'm good at what I do, and when you're my client, I write the way you want me to, for your audience.

For 15 years my work has been all over the Internet and print markets, sometimes credited, sometimes not. To follow is a partial list of clips and clients.
