I won a statewide math award in elementary school — for writing a book about numbers. I have since won numerous (but less exciting) awards, accolades and acknowledgements for my work in copywriting, marketing and public relations.

Sometimes the people and things I write about get famous. My writing has made a lot of people a lot of money. My writing has saved relationships and helped people form relationships. *

I live with my family in New Haven, Conn. I prefer the outdoors to in, playing to watching, bold to subtle, fast to slow, and sweet to savory. And while I never met a pun I didn’t like, I eschew buzzwords, trendy catchphrases, and grammar mistakes.

*This is all true!
