Winning With Words

I'm a communications nerd. I've spent my professional career skippering small businesses through the deluge of innovative new communications tools. Words matter. Stories matter. I delight in using them to connect with people, understand their mission, develop creative solutions and make the world a better place.
​
I'm continuing this journey professionally and personally, writing glib and folksy stories about serious technical challenges, and cold sober prose on socially invigorating topics. Below are a few examples of the work I have done, and a place to see some of the ongoing work that I am doing.

• Surviving the Unsurvivable One Year Later
  One year ago today, almost exactly this same time on the Friday morning before Thanksgiving, I saw Geoff for the last time.
