Professional Experience
A-list freelancer with cover stories and bylines in many dozens of publications, I've written conversation-shifting pieces and standout profiles that illuminate Hollywood, Silicon Valley and also, like, Bora Bora (I do travel writing, too). Editor. Author. Co-author. Ghostwriter. TEDx speaker. Corporate consultant. Freelance whisperer (see below). Aim-to-pleaser. Husband. Father. Parent to what The New York Times once called 'the smartest dog in the world.' Okay, I wrote that piece.
