About

I’ve been a copywriter and creative director for about thirty years.

In those thirty years I’ve gained insights into businesses of all shapes and sizes.

And hardware from awards that most people don’t know exist.

And features in magazines most people don’t read.

But the most important thing I’ve gotten in those thirty years is faster.

And better.

Basically, I get to better faster.

I work remotely from my home in beautiful The Dalles, Oregon.
