Over the years, I’ve worn a lot of hats and done a ton of creative things. My career started in newspapers and design. A lot has changed since then—and now, I mostly focus on writing, email, and web strategy.
Because I’ve worked in so many areas of the online media landscape, including self-publishing and online media, my skill set is diverse.
Along the way, I’ve:
- Started two successful self-published journalism outlets, and was the key part of helping to develop a successful B2B news site
- Worked with a variety of news outlets on stories on a variety of topics, including breaking news, technology, and historical research. I also have deep knowledge of the nonprofit realm, having reported within it for a decade
- Learned skills as diverse as writing, coding, graphic design, and blogging, and have become capable of using those in a variety of settings
- Built a reputation as a maverick in the email newsletter space
- Learned a lot about how journalism and marketing work, both separately and together
I have self-published online for nearly 15 years in one form or another—most notably as the editor of Tedium, a publication that has been active since 2015—and have also found significant success in working in both traditional newsrooms and in marketing settings.
I know this industry. And I can be a great resource if you’re looking for help with your next newsletter, are trying to make sense of a knotty technology topic, or are a just looking for a writer who is both savvy and not afraid of having a sense of humor.
What I'm striving for:
1. I plan to keep pushing at the frontiers of digital publishing, whatever they may be.
2. I insist on telling great stories online and finding new ways to tell those stories, no matter what they are.
3. I want to find ways to keep learning to do fascinating work online.
4. Oh, and jokes. Humor is important.
