אודותינו

I began my career as an editor at The Orlando Sentinel and still get an adrenaline rush from deadline pressure. I "defected" to advertising, working for Orlando's Robinson, Yesawich & Pepperdine – a U.S. leader in hotel/resort advertising and named by Adweek as Florida’s largest agency. A Florida native, I ended up at a suburban Philly agency, where I wrote copy for Nabisco, M&M/Mars, Johnson & Johnson and more. Philly is also where I finally learned what scrapple is and what an ice scraper is for — just in time for the blizzard of ’96.

While I will never acquire a taste for scrapple, and still call a hoagie a sub, I do enjoy a good cheesesteak every now and then… widout.

When I'm not teaching dance, you can find me at my laptop, cranking out on-target copy for clients like you.
