Thanks for visiting my website. As a marketing and communications professional, I offer a wealth of outreach, project, and publications management skills. Interests in history, nature, and non-profit activism shape my work as a freelance consultant.

Consulting

I believe in applying straightforward brand-building techniques while looking for green and low-cost options. Quality marketing advice is the result of business education and more than 20 years of product, brand, and communications management experience. See recent work on my portfolio page.

Writing

In 2003, I published my first novel, Waterfront Property. I enjoy kayaking, and was able to combine this with my interest in nature in a novella, Up a Creek (2004). I have written three books about Tidewater Virginia counties for Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series: Gloucester County (July 2006), Mathews County (November 2007), and James City County (March 2009). I've written many local, regional, national, and international magazine, newspaper, and journal reports and stories since 1976 and Web site content since 1998.

Clients and Causes

I develop and promote outdoor programs for New Quarter Park, a York County park near Williamsburg, Virginia. Programs include Walk & Talks, Bird Watching, Kayaking, and much more. Since working with New Quarter, I have become a Chesapeake Bay Foundation VoiCeS volunteer and a certified Virginia Master Naturalist with the Historic Rivers Chapter. I raise oysters for CBF's oyster restoration program at New Quarter Park.
