When I was a kid, my dad told me I would argue with a fence post and win.

​

He wasn't wrong. I've always had a lot to say, and more importantly, I've always known how to say it. That combination turned into a career I've been building for over 20 years as a journalist, columnist, ghostwriter, content strategist, and communications consultant. I help people and brands figure out what they're trying to say and then actually say it well.

​

I got my start at the University of Texas at Austin, where journalism school drilled one question into every story we wrote: Who cares? Not as a dismissal. As a discipline. The answer to that question is the difference between copy that sits there and copy that works. I've never stopped asking it.

 

Over the years, I've written about aerospace and interior design, politics and travel, healthcare, entrepreneurship, education, and culture. I've written for magazines and newspapers, for small businesses and large companies, for executives who needed a sharper voice and brands that needed a consistent one. I've done it under my byline and under other people's. The throughline in all of it is the same: find what matters, make it land.

​

I'm based in Dallas, where I've spent most of my career, including some years as a public-facing writer and broadcaster that taught me a lot about what it means to connect with an audience. That experience shapes how I work with every client. I know what resonates because I've watched what doesn't.

​

If you've got something to say and you're not sure how to say it, or you know exactly what you want but don't have time to write it yourself, that's where I come in.
