Writer. Optimist. Adventurer.

I wanted to be a Ringling Bros. clown, firmly believe nothing beats the sound of vinyl and have the album collection to prove it, climbed to the tops of some incredible mountains, rafted a few wild rivers, fly-fished some of America’s greatest streams, and appeared in Rolling Stone (but let Michael Jackson have the cover).

I've delivered papers and dog food, served fries and flipped burgers, painted houses, sold American flags, worked as a Hydroflume Technician, performed stand-up, entertained at weddings, taught at a university, and created humorous, heartwarming, surprising and compelling stories for a variety of national, regional and local B2C and B2B clients.

For the past 30ish years, I've had the opportunity to develop and write broadcast, social, web, print, outdoor, collateral, direct, speeches and sales presentations for great clients like Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Hoover Vacuums, Dad's Pet Foods, GNC, Mellon Bank, PNC Bank, First Commonwealth Bank (I guess I like banks), the St. Louis Cardinals, the St. Louis Blues, Pennsylvania Travel & Tourism, The Alleghenies, Magellan GPS, XM Satellite Radio, and many more.
