Start with lifelong passions for research, writing, and meaningful storytelling. Blend in a history in all sides of the media - Journalism; PR, B2B marcom, and more. Add an ongoing appetite for learning and knowledge, a craving to help others succeed, and fascination with innovation. 

Top things off with a love of long-distance, open-water swim races in cold bodies of water, and a belief in unicorns. The result is a fearless, creative, and focused approach to enterprise and cause-related narratives; storytelling that provokes deep thinking; and brand championship. 

Deep industry knowledge: Tech; Nonprofits; Professional Services; Real Estate & Financial Services; Home Building; Hospitals, Medicine & Healthcare;  HR Tech; Higher Education; Environmental Science; Medical Devices; Multimedia Communications; Public Service; News Media

In no particular order: Professional bios; product marketing content; case studies (case stories); bylined articles; media campaigns; news and research writing; sponsored content; social media for impact; advertorial writing; web content; blogs; book editing; white papers; enterprise SaaS content; sales enablement content; features; webinars; you name it.
