My writing career has been a road trip guided by a wide-open itinerary, a journey marked by eclectic engagements and unforgettable characters.
The common thread woven through it all is spinning yarns, whether I was working as an online newspaper editor, corporate copywriter, branding guru, stand-up comic, or marketing director.
I've boomeranged to and from four companies. It may be some sort of record. I've applied my skills in more spots than Duct Tape, including the verticals of healthcare, HR, media, construction, finance, travel, entertainment, energy and telecom. It’s a highlight reel that includes the following:
I'm a team player, having excelled as a Director of Marketing Communication charged with building a team and getting everyone on the same page. But I'm in my element as an add-on to your team, the cameo role that always gels with your superstars and delivers the goods.
For the past six years — and a few times previously — I've hustled day in and day out as a self-employed hunter-gatherer. This is my best chapter yet: Founder and Chief Brand Driver for Milepost 0 Creative. In other words, I’m the only employee. Every day, I help companies find and tell their best stories, or fables, as my hero Aesop called them. It’s all done with the goal of driving brands to a better place.
When I’m not living the dream on the clock, I’m living the dream off it. I enjoy running a monthly stand-up comedy showcase, rooting for losing sport teams (#BillsMafia), and coaching youth sports. I share this dream with my patient wife and two curious kiddos from Milepost 0 HQ in Chesterfield, Virginia.
Shoot me a note — heck, even a postcard — if you’re interested in being the next stop on this never-ending content marketing road trip.
