Journalist • Content Specialist • Ghostwriter

Let me tell your story.

In the span of my decades-long writing career, I’ve interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people for news stories, features, profiles, thought leadership, white papers, case studies and custom content. 


I’ve spoken to first responders and witnesses. Celebrities and artists. Elected officials and voters. Retailers and consumers. Fortune 500 executives and small business owners. Commercial builders and property developers. Port officials and shippers. 


And across vastly different industries and job titles, a common theme emerged: Everyone has a story. 


My approach

Storytelling is how I approach each project I take on, and it translates across writing formats. When we choose the right words, they deliver results. And when we use those words to tell stories, we humanize ourselves — and we reach the audiences who matter most to our message. 

About me

I started telling stories fresh out of college as a crime and city government reporter for the Daytona Beach News-Journal in Central Florida. “Florida Man” didn’t have a name back then, but that was my beat.


After returning to my hometown of New Orleans in 2002, I took on an associate editor role with New Orleans Magazine to tell the stories of the city’s musicians, artists and culture bearers. 


As news editor for New Orleans weekly business news publication, I helped coordinate coverage of the post-Katrina rebuild and the business community’s years-long recovery from the storm.


Over the past 15 years, I’ve built an independent writing business from the ground up. A handful of contacts has evolved into writing relationships with top-tier editors and publishers, Fortune 500 executives, marketing agencies and content developers. My work has appeared in over three dozen publications in global, national, regional and local markets, and I’ve produced content for industry reports, newsletters, B2B communications and social media sites. 


That’s my story. What’s yours?

Skills and services

Journalism

My journalistic background is foundational to every word I write. As an award-winning journalist for over 25 years, I’ve worked with newsrooms and publishers of all sizes, writing stories on topics ranging from crime to construction, and from personal finance to parenting. I break down complex topics in niche industries. And I've picked up a few awards along the way.

Ghostwriting

Not everyone has the time to write, especially when you're running an organization, leading a team or just focusing on the day-to-day. As a proven ghostwriter, I can craft content that captures your voice and tells your story. 

Content Marketing

Building relationships starts with the right messaging. But puting that messaging into words can be tough. I help organizations and brands develop long- and short-form custom content tailored to the audiences they want to reach, and in their preferred written format. 

Thought Leadership

I’ve applied my storytelling skills and my extensive experience working with niche industries to develop thought leadership articles, white papers, social media posts and custom content for C-suite executives and subject matter experts at Fortune 500 companies, family-run businesses, startups and nonprofits.

Custom Publishing and Editorial

Looking for someone to develop, manage and edit content for a special project or publication? I've helped publishers and organizations execute their editorial plans at every step — from conceptualizing and assigning articles to copy editing — while ensuring every deadline is met. 

New Orleans-Based Coverage

Got an event or conference you need someone to cover in New Orleans? Need an interview with a local? Let me be your boots on the ground. I’m New Orleans born and bred, and I've developed sources and contacts as a professional here for over two decades. It’s a small town, and chances are I know someone who knows someone.

You can count on a well-constructed house to last a lifetime — maybe even a century or longer. Some of the components that make up a house, however, tend to have shorter lifespans, and need repair or replacement to endure the test of time.
