I’m an advertising copywriter, which is why my website utterly lacks
graphics. Besides which, I think you have better things to do than wait for a website to
load.
I’ve been a copywriter for 30 years. Along
the way, I’ve written print ads, brochures, sales kits, websites, radio spots, and
television commercials. I’ve written for ad agencies, design studios, and companies
large and small (including, in part, 3Com, Calavo, Callaway Vineyard and Winery, First
American Title Insurance, Frazee Paint, Hain Pure Foods, Hewlett-Packard, and Hyatt
Regency).
My concepts and copy have won buckets of awards. More important, I know how to write ad copy that flat-out builds brands and gets
results. I am fast, professional, and passionate about doing good work.
