Creation & Connection

Analytical thinking and relevant, valid research establish the foundation of my B2B and B2C content. I infuse each piece with brand perspectives to translate complex ideas into compelling narratives that drive business outcomes. This commitment to accuracy produces thoughtful, timely content ranging from executive thought leadership to consumer storytelling.

I also specialize in ghostwriting and long-form storytelling, capturing voice and building narratives for executives, strategists, and thought leaders.

About Me

I'm published online and in print, and a member of the Authors Guild. You can find my fiction—sci-fi, fantasy, and dirty realism with satirical elements—on Substack. I've been shortlisted twice.

In addition to 15+ years of professional writing experience, I love photography, singing, and playing the harmonica.

Statement on AI

I never compete with AI. I direct it.

Clients hire me to leverage discernment — knowing what to keep, what to cut, what to question, and what not to publish. I determine the risk calibration, ethical framing, tonal control/voice, and final judgment.

Here's how I do that.

I use Claude and ChatGPT for structural development and counterargument testing, Perplexity for research synthesis across complex topics, and AI-assisted tools for fact-checking and terminology verification when writing spans technical domains.

"AI writing" bores me and will bore your audience. Instead, let me give them informed, strategically engineered communication shaped by my human judgment.
