Hello

About Me
I have been writing personally and professionally for over a decade.
​
Professionally, as the Director of Samson's Gym, a non-profit fitness centre and recreation program for at-risk youth, I fundraised my entire salary and secured the budget for our operations each year. I accomplished this primarily with written newsletters, print & email campaigns, and oral presentations. I didn't get paid unless the money came in! We never lacked.
​
On the personal side, I built my first website & blog after breaking my neck on a football field. In the following years, I lost my health and career. Finally, I found myself traveling to Europe for emergency spine surgery. And all of this before I turned 30. Yikes, this wasn't the plan!
​
Writing helped me sort things out. But a larger purpose soon emerged. Namely, a desire to share what I had learned and help others overcome hardship in their own lives. My writing seemed to register with people from all walks of life, garnering global attention. Choosing to share my experience was life-changing.
Stories have tremendous power. And all of us have a story worth sharing.
I discovered that if you genuinely believe something and you express it with authenticity, from the heart, your words can make anything possible.
​
I began to speak at schools, retreats, banquets, and businesses. And then, a local company gave me a chance to write for them too. Today, I write for a wide variety of audiences & industries and can craft my tone to fit the needs of your project. My writing has appeared on websites, blogs, magazines, print & digital advertisements, and more.
The difference between words that convert and words that don’t is quite simple. It’s about carefully choosing the right words and then writing in a real, human voice that speaks to your audience's heart.
After all, people decide with their hearts and justify later with their brains – it’s neuroscience. Trust me, I got a B+ in human physiology.
Okay, it was a C+.
​
Either way, the possibilities are endless if you have the right words. I'd love to help you find them.
