With hundreds of thousands of words worth of experience behind me, I've worked with clients from a breadth of industries: Bank of America, The Bush Institute, Arizona Science Center, Shea Homes, Delta Dental, Vitalyst Health Foundation, Institute for Mental Health Research, Phoenix College, APS, and many more.


Whether you're looking for a serious press release, an engaging article, or a witty blog, I offer something most other writers don't: zest.


Anyone can present a list of facts. What you want is something that will pull your reader in, engage them, get them wanting more.


That's what I offer.

What you see here is a small sample of the work I've produced for my clients over the past few years, much of it ghostwritten.

Kirk: Strength materializes in darkest of times

My plane was shot down on Oct. 28, 1967. I had been chosen to lead the largest bombing raid of the Vietnam War, and as I led my squadron of fighters into a strategic dive, the anti-air fire around Hanoi lit the sky with fire and shrapnel. The 30 miles around Hanoi was the heaviest air-defended space in military history at that point, and as the lead pilot, my engine was one of the first to be shot through at near 10,000 feet. Despite my training, despite my years of experience, panic and fear

This push-and-pull is exactly what I felt when I learned I would be receiving the “Storyteller Award” from one of the Valley organizations that is dearest to me, Veterans Heritage P
