Senior Content Manager / Microsoft Partner Network

My editorial and marketing career spans projects as diverse as running a niche sports-enthusiast magazine, creating and managing content for a high-profile Microsoft website, and covering the latest local rock bands in Seattle.

I'm a creative yet logical thinker, and I like to look at the big picture as well as the granular details.

Aside from fiddling with words and punctuation, I thoroughly enjoy working with people--leading or contributing to a team, managing a stable of workers, and consulting with clients.

To quote marketing guru Seth Godin:

"It's laughably easy to find someone to critique a sentence, to find a missing apostrophe or worry about your noun-verb agreement.

Sometimes, you're lucky enough to find someone who can tell you that a paragraph is dull, or out of place.

But finding people to rearrange the chapters, to criticize the very arc of what you're building, to give you substantive feedback on your strategy--that's insanely valuable and rare."

That's me.
