​

​I'm a writer exploring psychology, thought, and human experience in science writing, essays, commercial language, fiction, and poetry. My storytelling revolves around how people understand their lives and how language guides meaning. I write to become unlost in the artistic bend.​

​

Before my full-time writing career, I founded and ran a sports medicine clinic where I dealt with insurance providers and physicians, so I’m well-versed in medical communication. I co-authored Kinesiology for Manual Therapies, 2nd Edition (Singing Dragon), a text used by physical therapists, athletic trainers, and massage therapists. I also wrote Invisible Parents: Hidden Secrets of Special Needs Parents, A Book of Hope, with Heather Stone, which is where the storytelling side of this work emerges — discovering someone’s authentic story and telling it without flattening the narrative. That’s the same skill behind every executive ghostwriting project I do.

​

Recent CME work includes a needs assessment for Emory Healthcare nurses on measles recognition and response, and an enduring monograph on early Alzheimer’s recognition for primary care, both through full peer review and production. As a member of the American Medical Writers Association, I disclose any AI use in my work and review and edit all content before submitting it to a client.

​

My writing spans several forms:

​

• Medical CME writing focused on simplicity, accuracy, and narrative precision (member, American Medical Writers Association (AMWA))

• Essays on healthcare, sports medicine, and the human experience

• Award-winning fiction and poetry exploring character, memory, and interior life

• Commercial storytelling designed to convince​
   

Background

 

For decades, I've worked as a professional writer across global healthcare, commercial, and editorial environments.

I’ve partnered with:

​

• healthcare leaders and medical organizations

• executives and subject-matter experts

• everyday people who told their stories

• international agencies and brand teams

 

Some advertising and publishing teams I've partnered with include Toppan, Acolad, Handspring, and McGraw Hill. I’ve written retail copy for leaders such as Kayak, adidas, Kidde, Del Giudice, Timberland, and J. Lindeberg, et al.

​

​

​

My work involves translating complex clinical, technical, and critical ideas into writing that is concise, honest, and human.

 

Current Work

​

I publish my current writing here and at Ink Outside the Margin (a collection of medical reflections, stories, poetry, essays, and writing craft).​ Some pieces form part of a developing collection of short fiction. See my books and portfolio here.

 

Approach

​

I am interested in writing that manifests thought.

I’m not interested in content, volume, or bloated noise.

I seek work that is:

​

• intriguing

• contemplative

• raw
