Boston, MA

I'm a Boston-based creative director, copywriter and content strategist with 20+ years of B-to-B and B-to-C experience in both digital and traditional media.

I've directed creative talent and collaborated daily with UX, technology and strategy pros.

I've written edicts from mission statements to brand mantras to value props. I've gotten down and dirty with long- and short-form copy and video scripts.

I've traveled quite a bit, having pitched and won new business across the country.
