About me
“Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.”
-Stephen King
You made it! So, have you enjoyed my website thus far?
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a Stephen King fan. That’s me, standing outside of his house in Bangor, Maine, posing for a picture taken by a friendly Norwegian fellow whom I had met only moments before. Bjargi, if you’re reading this, thanks for the snapshot!
From an early age, I knew writing was an activity that could allow me to become lost in my imagination. What started as writing silly stories using the Dr. Seuss framework to read to my kindergarten class evolved into a full-fledged career as a copywriter. If I could go back and tell the scrappy four-year-old me that I’d end up being a professional purveyor of words he would probably say, “Cool! But did you ever become an astronaut and go to space?”
And in a sense, I could tell him I have.
My love for words knows no bounds—in fact, it grows more intense every day. But as much as I love the writing, it’s the research and discovery that pushes me, as Dylan Thomas put it so eloquently, to rage, rage into the dying of the light.
So yes, I have become a linguistic astronaut—one who continues his crusade through the stars, writing captivating content. It’s an adventure, and I won’t soon be coming home.
You’ll find my eight years of work to have covered numerous topics across copious industries. I’ve taken on projects ranging from B2C, B2B social, and SEO to advertising, emails, broadcast productions, infographics, testimonials, and website copy. But the learning never ends. As any good explorer would say, I’m ready for the next unknown.
Outside of copywriting, I spend much of my free time, you guessed it, writing. I enjoy writing poems, short stories, songs, sketches, and video game-related articles (you can check that out here).
I’m a wedding singer (not quite Adam Sandler, but good enough to keep the party going and make a few eyeballs sweat), staunch fan of the Packers, Bucks, Tar Heels, and Tour de France, avid reader (you probably knew that by now), wannabe member of the X-Men, former child, and non-conformist to the belief that ice cream is good.
If you’ve read this far, I promise it’s worth reaching out and chatting. You may even convince me that ice cream is actually … palatable. But, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
