Some of us love to write, some of us hate it, and most of us probably feel both, depending on the situation.

I get it. I've been there, too. Regardless of where you find yourself, we will develop a strategy together to help you succeed.

We will find the topics, we will answer the questions, we will help you find your authentic voice, whether it's college essays, high school assignments, or creative writing on your own.

And as a father of three kids 10-19, I understand how critical it is to find the right match with someone who can help inspire, motivate, and be worthy of trust.

If it's the day before, and we need to churn out a 1-page essay, we will get it done by focusing on efficiency, simplicity, and some other strategies to finish well before midnight.

Sometimes "done" is better than "perfect"!

If we have more time, and/or there's interest, we stand on tiptoe at the edge of a deep pool of metaphor, informative, persuasive, creative and other topics that we can dive in and explore, to complete that school essay, book report, poem, or story.

Good writing is an essential skill and an opportunity to be creative, even if you've been assigned a 5-page paper on "History of the Beanbag."

I'd like to help the next generations and pass along what I've learned; people can write better and faster than they ever thought possible, when they have the right coaching and support.

I've done lots of writing throughout my college and professional career, and tutored/trained many people in written communication and persuasion along the way.
I received a Physics and Math degree from Indiana University, but my favorite classes were writing essays in "The End of the World in Literature", and The Detective in Fiction".

I edited freshman essay assignments during college and started writing poems, a hobby I continue to this day.
During my MBA, and throughout my business career, I've acquired an excellent skill set in business communication with clients, partners, colleagues, and the general public.

Training small and large groups in how to convey messages in a more powerful and meaningful way, and connecting with people on an emotional level, is what good writing is all about.

I enjoy working with students who are completing general topic essays, short-answer paragraphs, poems, stories, and just about anything that doesn't required TOO much technical knowledge.
