If Chuck Palahniuk and David Ogilvy had a kid, and that kid grew up reading every weird newsletter on the internet, you'd get something close to my copy.
Look, I've been writing copy long enough to know that most portfolio bios are the same warmed-over nonsense about "passionate storytellers" who "thrive at the intersection of brand and culture." I'm not doing that.
Here's what I actually do: I make brands sound like they have a pulse. I've done it at theCHIVE, at Scribe Media, at RSVLTS, at Rugiet, at Contrarian Thinking, and now at Manychat, where I run campaign content and spend most of my time asking "so what?" until a brief finally admits what it's really about.
I came up through gonzo journalism, which means I learned to write fast, write weird, and never trust the first draft of anything — especially the brief. I've written TV spots, email campaigns, event scripts, brand voices from scratch, and at least one 250-page Southern Gothic thriller that I'm still not sure was a great idea.
Right now I'm also writing two novels, because apparently one job and a kid weren't enough to keep me busy. One's a historical horror novel set during the Black Plague (Heir of Black). The other is an epic poem collection about four magically-gifted brothers who are catastrophically bad at being bards (The Big Book of Bad Bards). I write essays for Chronically Online Magazine when the mood is right and the angle is dangerous.
I have strong opinions about the Oxford comma (pro), em-dashes (overused, including by me), and the "you don't need to say 'in order to'" school of editing. I subscribe to the Mischief Two-Step: figure out what you're actually trying to say, then find the most interesting way to say it. In that order. Always.
