MY FRIENDS THINK I’M THE BEST COPYRIGHT LAWYER EVER

Explaining what copywriters do can be tricky, however, I’ve boiled it down to this: I use words and ideas to help businesses solve problems. And I’ve been doing it for over thirteen years, including agency and in-house experience.

I’m big on heart and low on ego—one of those weirdos who, for the most part, really enjoys what they do. I love the work and enjoy seeing a polished end product, but more than anything, I value the close partnerships and friends made along the way.
