Portfolio

One of my strengths is writing in whatever tone and style is required for the job, and my portfolio reflects this skill.  The focus of my career has also changed over time, from more print publication work early on to a focus in blogging and marketing as I've honed my craft.  For examples of my work, see the list below.
