My writing roots
I've been writing and telling stories since I was a little kid. My first writing success was a highly acclaimed story about an ant at a picnic,. It had the entire third grade class in stitches. I went on to write an entire mystery novel in the fifth grade, but even I knew it wasn't as good as the picnic story. I resolved to do better. Since then, I've honed my craft and written everything from magazine articles to advertising copy and a real live novel, Making Murder.

My style
I strive to make my writing simple yet engaging. I excel at making complex topics understandable. Some recent topics have included the impact of Blockchain on hedge fund management, why manufacturing companies need more than ERP and why quality needs to be the primary focus of every business.
