*award-winning word-person.

I once won a contest by championing the benefits of public urination for a crowd of 35 bar-goers. I wrote the speech in five minutes and with zero experience in the subject. Hey, an award is an award.

Today, I like to write for and about the companies and causes I actually believe in. (I save the rest for happy hour.)

For 4+ years, I wrote about all things music, TV, film and the Internet as a pop culture columnist. Example: this love letter to a ’00s pop-punk band.

words that get back to what matters.

After a tone-deaf ad made headlines, I was challenged to write the manifesto for a brand essence video that returns Shea Moisture to its roots.

 
 

words that put a face to a philosophy.

In 2018, I helped the Washington Area Women’s Foundation make their commitment to “systems-level change” sound more human.
