General info

New York, NY

I've enjoyed over a decade of success helping some of the world's largest direct marketers generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. I am currently available for positions that will utilize my proven creativity and marketing expertise in the acquisition and retention of customers, online and in print.

My writing credits also include published humor pieces for magazines and websites as well as creating, writing and pitching original game shows and sitcoms for television.

In addition to my copywriting exploits, I am the founder and owner of a small apparel business that specializes in high-quality, graphic t-shirts designed by artists in Brooklyn and Queens.
