Hey there. You found this page, That's pretty cool. I'm proud of you.
My name is Jeff. I teach people how to write cool stuff for a living. The writing has to be factual, and traditionally we've called this kind of writing journalism, but frankly I don't care what you call it. Some people say the Internet killed it. They're wrong, thankfully. Society is always going to thirst for information in some form or fashion -- it's my job to teach people with a fire in their hearts to chase whatever the form happens to be.
In my spare time I also research online communities, pop culture on social media, message spread through social networks, and the nature of hoaxes/myths/rumors. I'm also a published historian on NASA's accomplishments in the 1960s and 1970s.
Commas, as well, I really think they are cool.
