Basically? I provide marketing focus for overwhelmed, creative multitalents.

Which means? Smart folk--especially creative types--usually do more than one thing really well. Which is fun, but can make for some very muddy marketing messaging. I help smartypants creative types uncover their unique fabulosity, if you will, and to come up with a reasonable, logical action plan for marketing themselves so it's fun, and so they don't make asses of themselves on Facebook and "the Twitter."

I pull a thread of order from the tangled skein of chaos. I illuminate and simplify complicated stuff: how to market yourself, how to present yourself, how to communicate complicated stuff in a simple way.

Also, I make people laugh. Because really, it doesn't have to be that damned stodgy and serious. Unless it's brain surgery. Then, you know, knock yourself out, Perry Mason.

To meet my L.A. Biznik peeps! After an eye-opening tour of how Biznik works in Seattle, I'm trying to bring the love here. Please check out our NEW monthly L.A. meetup event at Jerry's Deli. Next up: April 29th!

B.A., Cornell University, 1983. Cum laude, for a crappy novella I wrote. (Well, it was potentially a great novella, but I got lazy and only wrote a first draft.)

10 years writing TV ads; another 10 acting in them. Big bunch of design and presentation work in there. When it comes to communicating, you name it, I've pretty much done it.
