I specialize in being a generalist. I take information from a variety of sources on a variety of subjects, distill them down into useable nuggets and create spoken and written words that move people to action.

o Managed an outdoor retailer

o Served clients and managed staff in finance

o Written for national magazines

o Taught chemistry, biology, anatomy, zoology & English. Coached men's soccer & men's and women's ski team
