I've been an advertising copywriter in one form or another since 2002. I started in catalogs, then began to work my way up into the agency world. I'm a proficient writer with a diverse range of styles, tones and thinking. I've worked in a variety of categories, from fast food to the agriculture industry to financial to luxury cars.
