Since the mid-1980s I've made my living with words. After a few years as a technical writer and editor (does anyone remember the Logo computer language for kids? I wrote the manuals!) I moved into copywriting and communication strategy. For a few years I managed the communication department for a tech firm, and in 1996 I founded my own consultancy. For the next quarter century (wow, that makes me feel old) I worked with ad and design agencies, tech companies, resource industries, and government clients across Canada and internationally. I wrote copy for websites, ad campaigns, industrial videos, blogs, podcasts,  executive speeches, annual reports, ESG reports, and much much more. 

 

In 2022, a health scare made me aware that life is short, and I closed up shop in order to concentrate on creative work.
