​​I help brands, businesses, nonprofits, and individuals achieve their communications goals, no matter how big, small, weird, or wild.​

 

I’m grateful to do what I love for a living. I spent the first half of my career in journalism at magazines and newspapers, ultimately transitioning to advertising, marketing, and branding. At this point, I have as much experience interviewing, researching, and writing on deadline as I do dreaming up million-dollar ideas, scripting them for production, and promoting them across multiple channels. I also teach professional writing, and I recently started writing screenplays.​

​

I was born and raised in California, and have called Chicago home for more than 20 years — long enough to write a book about it. I also spend a lot of time in Wisconsin, but haven't written a book about it. Yet.​​​​​
