Here's why

 

  • ​I'm a copywriter with a passion for story and the ways it can inform and connect ideas.

 

  • My focus is engaging narrative-based copy that’s often quirky and clever. My goal has always been text that's funny and friendly - but never typical.​

 

  • Fastidious, detail oriented, passionate and fun-loving writer-man.​

 

  • I work well on a team, thriving with - and supporting - other colleagues and team-members.

 

  • I’m well-liked by fellow co-workers, especially the light-hearted, humor-loving sort.
