About

Working for clients, including HP, GE and Keysight Technologies, I’ve run the gamut of writing for technical companies. I’ve come up with ten different ways to say innovative, writing clear and concise copy for web pages, email invitations, abstracts, speeches, infographics, email marketing campaigns, video scripts, blog posts and more. Before I was a freelance writer, I was a reality television producer for shows American Chopper, Dirty Jobs, Trip Flip and Disaster House, among others. That’s where I flexed my writing muscle, writing television scripts and a million pitches, and honing my research and interview skills. I’ve done everything from cleaning up vomit to arranging a full night shoot in a matter of hours. Television has taught me to push the bounds of what I believe is possible.
