Let's face it, if we've not worked together before, then hiring me to write for you is a lot like a blind date. And no one wants to be disappointed when your date shows up on your doorstep.

Even if they show up with flowers.

So take a look around and see what kind of work I've done for other clients, including Red Lobster, Habitat for Humanity, Polaroid, American Lung Association, T.J. Maxx, Salvation Army, Ducati Motorcycles, WNET Channel 13, Bank of America, Jane Goodall Institute and a long list of other blue-chip companies and high-profile nonprofit organizations I've had the honor and privilege to work with over the years.


See what some of my clients say about working with me:

You should know I've written and directed creative for every conceivable digital and analog communications channel, from corporate branding print and broadcast ads, direct mail and fundraising appeals, PR and out-of-home, to websites, video scripts, banner ads, landing pages, multimedia content platforms, and mobile.


And I can cohesively integrate all of them so that your company or nonprofit speaks to all of its publics with one voice.


You'll find my rates competitive. And my work delivers compelling, on-strategy results.


So if you do decide I'm the right guy for your next project, then I'll be at your doorstep ready to put my experience as an award-winning copywriter, creative director and integrated marketing and fundraising communications strategist to work.
