Editor with three decades of technical writing and publishing experience. Fluent in APA Style, AP Style, and Chicago Manual of Style.
Overview
I've been writing and editing manuscripts and speeches since my tenure as a senate staffer nearly three decades ago. Supported by technical degrees including aeronautical engineering and patent law, my writing has spanned everything from speeches and press releases to highly detailed patent applications, policy and position papers, blogs, marketing pieces, and websites. My clients include college professors, authors, politicians, lawyers, speakers, and entrepreneurs. I also know the publishing world, as I am the former publisher and editor of Attorney at Law Magazine in Chicago. The vast majority of my client relationships span years, if not decades. In my spare time, I'm an avid rower, outdoor enthusiast, Gaia Ranger, and father.
