Title
Copywriter
Blurb
You need words? I got words. Incandescent, prolix, zaftig. Plenty more where those came from.
Biography
My favorite show when I was a kid was a sitcom called Bosom Buddies. One of the buddies put his literary dreams on hold to work as a copywriter at an ad agency. I didn't even know that was a thing! But I saw my destiny writ large there upon the small screen, right next to Tom Hanks dressed as a lady.
So here we are. Over a decade of writing for agencies and websites and entrepreneurs. Commercials, brochures, billboards, rebrands, games, animated GIFs. Work for huge scary multinational conglomerates and tiny adorable one-person startups. Massive, award-winning concepts and so-so subject lines. Phone apps and Preparation H.
