SUMMARY
I’m a prolific copywriter with over 20 years experience producing award-winning content for all types of mediums and platforms, including digital, social, television, print, outdoor, guerrilla, or just about anything else you can think of. Of course, coming up with ideas is half the battle – they need to be pitched and sold to upper management and clients. My theater background has come in handy for this very purpose (and not much else). Additionally, I’m a dedicated team player who enjoys working with others. When I’m not writing commercial scripts or taglines, I love playing guitar, as well as watching slow foreign movies.
