"Who am I? The eternal question. The eternal answer: I don't know" - Charles Bukowski. So, how did a field biologist examining the impact of evolutionary pressure on the development of social behavior in animals wind up writing ad copy for a New Orleans steakhouse? I'm glad you asked. I began my writing career in the glamorous world of biotech, creating performance summaries for the FDA, QC summary reports, responding to client inquiries, developing user manuals, and generating technical marketing copy before ditching the lab coat and moving over to a more creative venue during the dotcom boom. I was one of two staff writers for the now defunct How2.com, an award winning online magazine blending humor and education. From there I moved on to yet another now defunct dotcom, NadaPC, an ill-managed ISP wanna-be that, as a result of questionable tactics, shoddy execution, incompetent leadership, and poorly conceived strategy, was never able to get off the ground. While with NadaPC, I developed content which defined the service (such as it was), promoted a multitude of (then) e-commerce sites dedicated to separating you from your money, and generated corporate marketing and promotional materials - along with the drudgery of managing various infotainment channels for the anticipated membership. Although it may appear otherwise, I believe that my association with these failed ventures was merely coincidental, not causative, and I maintain my assertion that I am a victim of circumstance - a belief supported by the overall Internet mass extinction of 2001. As a result of the dotcom bust I decided to fly solo. I now write for whoever needs me, and have racked up a list of clients that includes International film industry representatives, major Universities, web hosting companies, professional recruiters, and cutting-edge advertising companies. This breadth of experience has provided me with extreme versatility, and has made me well aware of what works (and, more importantly, what doesn't work) for whatever industry or medium I am dealing with.
