About Me

I've been writing for 25 years in a variety of settings - newspapers, trade associations, non-profits, advertising agencies and colleges. As a journalist, I've been a staff writer for the Portland Press Herald, Maine Sunday Telegram, and Kennebec Journal - and have been a regular contributor to Country Home magazine and Maine Public Radio.

Advertising clients have included the Boston agencies Arnold Worldwide and Strategic Interactive Group; in Maine, I've worked for NL Partners, Garrand & Co., and Mahan Graphics. My college clients include Bowdoin College, Colby College, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Southern Maine, Southern Maine Technical College and the Maine Technical College System.

How I work

Writing is a matter of asking questions and of listening for specifics. Yet many people only understand themselves and their work in the broadest sense. I work to uncover the details, quirks and stories that truly frame people's lives and their work. Clients often tell me that they understand themselves, their organization, a product, or an idea much more deeply after having worked with me. More importantly, they feel excited about what they're doing. That's my goal: to help people communicate their most vital truth.
