ABOUT JEFF
WRITING IS IN MY BLOOD
It’s been part of my daily life for about as long as I can remember — or at least since age 7, when I “borrowed” my parents’ typewriter to write a science-fiction story (complete with crayon illustrations).
​
By high school, I knew my career would center on writing. A prestigious academic award for a research paper I wrote as a college freshman reinforced that notion.
​
After earning a B.A. and M.A. in English, I taught analytic and persuasive writing to college undergraduates. Seeking a creative outlet, I joined the sports department at The Detroit News. Besides honing my writing skills, I interviewed dozens of sports stars and learned a lot about meeting tight deadlines.
​
I turned to marketing afterwards, writing copy for a university website and alumni magazine — then writing, editing and managing the production of fundraising materials for a local non-profit agency.
​
Over time, I learned that I like being my own boss. I launched my business in 2006 and haven’t looked back. I enjoy leveraging my writing talent and experience by helping clients meet their marketing goals.
My biggest kick? When readers say they really enjoy reading my work.
