Creation & Connection

Deep research and rigorous subject-matter work establish the foundation of my B2B and B2C copy and content. I translate complex ideas into compelling narratives by getting far enough inside a client's perspective that the finished piece sounds unmistakably like them. The result is thoughtful, accurate content ranging from executive thought leadership to consumer storytelling.

I also ghostwrite nonfiction books, including memoirs and business narratives, from first interview to final manuscript.

About Me

Living in Chattanooga, TN · Available worldwide

I'm published online and in print, and a member of the Authors Guild. You can find my fiction—horror-comedy, crime noir, Southern gothic, and sci-fi satire—on Substack. I've been shortlisted twice.

In addition to my writing experience, I love photography, singing, and playing the harmonica.

How I Use AI

I recently earned a Google AI Professional Certificate.

I use LLMs often enough to know where they help and where they get things wrong. So I use them for a few specific jobs if a client approves.

Research is one. I still use client materials, firsthand interviews, and current, reputable sources. I verify anything AI provides before using it.

Proofreading is another. I run finished text through an LLM and grammar software, then decide on every suggestion myself.

I do my own vocal read-throughs and use a text-to-speech tool to hear tone and rhythm.

I do all my own writing and editing.
