Professional writer for business since 1995.

What do you have that nobody else does? The differentiator is finding this together, and then telling that story so it actually connects.

Much of my best work starts with a conversation. I work directly with executives and experts who know their subjects cold. I get past the technical jargon, find what’s interesting and turn it into writing people want to read.

That might mean an executive article, a business feature, a research report or an entire book. My commissioned centennial history of Tacoma Rail required a year of interviews, archival research and collaboration.

So… What -do- you have that nobody else does? It’s the core question I like to get at. The answer may hide in an observation you almost skipped over, a story you’ve told a hundred times or something happening inside your business that nobody outside it has noticed yet. My job is to recognize it, ask the next question and help you tell the story.

I’ve written for 3M, Dell, GE, McDonald’s, Rackspace and others. I’m the author or ghostwriter of three books, most recently Coaching Youth Basketball, with bylines in Harper’s, The Globe and Mail, Industry Standard and The Hartford Courant. Earlier in my career, I spent ten seasons reporting for ESPN SportsTicker and worked at Golin/Harris Chicago.

Words I write help my clients: inform, persuade, move product and save money
