Partner and Bon Vivant

Advertising was my game, doing ads for Fortune 500 companies for two decades. Then I discovered computers. Love at first sight. Next step, technical writing. So now I have two areas of expertise: advertising and technical writing.

I took a couple of detours between advertising and technical writing: owning and running a Tex-Mex eatery in Westchester County, New York and breeding, raising and training horses near Austin, Texas. Both of these endeavors made me appreciate the ins and outs of running a business and what hard work can accomplish.

I communicate well. I know about business. I love technology and interesting assignments.

Samples of our work

Partner

In school I studied visual design, formal analysis, and effective communication. After law school I worked for several years as a lawyer specializing in business start-ups. Along the way I developed two Dallas restaurants, the Grand Hotel and the Stoneleigh P.

In 1987 Suzanne Hawthorne and I formed Geezer Geeks.

I am a skilled communicator and information designer who understands business. I excel at presenting complex ideas in compelling, jargon-free language. I never forget that every communication needs audience appeal to work. My materials are interesting, persuasive and, when appropriate, entertaining. I know how to tell your story.

As a Web developer I work in HTML, Dreamweaver, FrontPage, Allaire Home Site, Claris Home Page, Flash, Javascript, JASC Paint Shop, Photoshop, and Freehand.
