INTERESTS & PROCESSES

Although I'm a pop culture guy -- music, movies, sports, film, television, humor, and the like -- I love helping my clients tell their stories, whether it's a rags-to-riches tale or a prescriptive business book. I'm a big fan of diversity.

I pride myself in creating a safe space for my clients, a space where they're comfortable telling me their story, a place where they can be truly heard. Our 20-40 hours of interviews should be fun and fulfilling, and lead to a fantastic project.

I'm the kind of collaborator who wants to get it right, and if that means one, two, three, five, ten passes, so be it. It might take time to lock down your written voice, but we'll make it happen. Together.
