The World is Online

You can be too, and I’m poised to be the social media strategist who helps you get there.

 

The Social Landscape Keeps Evolving

And as it does I’ll show you how to keep your footing.  Your job is to write books or get elected or sell houses or promote a cause; mine is to help you find the online conversations that empower you.  I’ll help distill the latest technology and trends to find the tools you need to succeed online.  I’ll keep you focused on what works, and make sure that the time you invest online is time well spent.
 

Putting Words to Good Use

Along the way I can also help you communicate better: more clearly, more concisely, more persuasively.

I’ve written words that created a thriving public school, now educating over 400 students.  With words, I’ve helped take a company public on NASDAQ and helped elect a Mayor.  Words I wrote raised over $1,000,000 in grant funds on behalf of my clients.  My words educated thousands of database professionals via two top-selling technical reference books.  There’s more: my words enroll audiences, attract business, and create community.

If words matter for you as much as they have for me, then I’m ready to help you to make a difference.  As your partner I’ll fine-tune your message to the target audience and produce copy you can trust.  Sometimes a message needs to be delivered with gravitas; occasionally it needs grace and sparkle–even whimsy; at times it needs to incite with fire and the clarion ring of deep truth.  I know the difference, and can bring a voice that matches the circumstance.
 

Abbreviated Résumé

I’ve been a genetic engineer, a computer programmer, a database expert, an author, a business founder and president, a chess coach, a marketer, and a charter school founder and board president.  Every role calls for making words matter: for enrolling and persuading and educating.  And I’m just getting started.
