Journalist, Copywriter, Brand + Scripted Content Specialist, Visual Media
New & Noteworthy
October 2024 Taking a hiatus from any journalism and brand content projects so I can focus on a scripted project that is getting attention. (You know, when they actually call you to ask when it will be ready). Hope to have updates soon, in the meantime, I will be at my keyboard knocking out pages…
July 2023 I think many of us dream about escaping to an off-the-beaten path, untamed paradise where you can pick a straw hat-full of fruit off of the trees and settle on a stretch of beach where the only footprints you’ll see all day are yours. That place still exists. It takes a little bit of work to get there, but it is paradise found. Read more here.
May 2023 I’ve heard every opinion imaginable about my hometown of Los Angeles. So as a third-generation Angeleno, I really appreciate the opportunity to write a local’s take—in this case, reviewing several must-stay luxury hotels—for Christie's International Real Estate magazine (scroll to “Love letter to LA Hotels”).
March 2023 Some of my favorite projects involve the automotive sector, including a three-year stint crafting content for the prestigious LA Auto Show and writing a recurring series about performance vehicles for Variety.com. I think emerging technologies are the most exciting aspect of this world, which is why I’m really enjoying working with Battle Motors, a new EV (electric vehicle) manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks. I’ve been writing a lot of different content for them, including the script for this brand video which debuted at recent industry trade shows. Vroom vroom.
Previous I’m also pushing ahead on a handful of other cool initiatives including a TV pilot that placed in the Austin Film Festival. It’s been a lot of research and work, but it’s been gratifying to see it take shape and garner industry interest.
On another note, it only took 20 years and a half-dozen trips, but I finally got a high-profile publication to buy the type of story I have always wanted to write about Cuba. There have been some great pieces over the years about sipping mojitos and checking out the vintage American cars and cabaret shows in Havana (and I’ve written a few). But this ain’t that. My Cuba adventure feature for the New York Times went way outside the margins to the wild side of the largest island in the Caribbean, exploring the southern coast via sea kayak. Enjoy the read!
