Overview
I'm a ghostwriter and developmental editor, working on books, digital content, and executive communications.
I've written for startup founders, professors, scientists, the C-suite of Fortune 500 companies, and a whole bunch of folks in between. From business, to self help, to education, science for the masses, crypto, climate and beyond, I'm a quick study who is comfortable with a wide range of topics (and particularly adept at translating technical material for popular audiences).
My writing has appeared in Popular Science, FT, LA Times, AP, and titles published by Berrett-Koehler, Crown, Palgrave Macmillan, Princeton University Press, and Weldon Owen. I have developed franchise titles for Pearson and Cengage, academic and narrative non-fiction titles for UC Press, professional titles for Jossey-Bass, and am the first call editor for one of Wiley's (New York Times) best-selling authors.
I also once tuned Neil Young's reed organ. Ask me about it sometime.
