My career as a writer has shifted and evolved pleasantly through the years. Whereas, say, 12 years ago I was averaging nine articles a month for 12 different magazines (I still write for two fabulous ones), currently I’m writing more social media...
I am happy to get up every day and hustle for work, as I’ve successfully done for 20 years now. But sometimes a project falls in my lap, and being asked to contribute to St. Louis Visions was certainly one of the best, most satisfying bits of...
I’ve been busy lately helping small businesses with their websites (content and direction only; I have several teams I turn to do the technical work). Some have been long-overdue updates (like mine!); some have launched new companies. While I do...
I have written for the live event magazine PLSN for almost two decades. My love of music and general background as a theater geek has been richly rewarded for the experience. A year and a month ago, I was looking at potentially my most successful...

Increasingly, I am getting to create special live events, and none are more special and exciting to me than the Parnelli Awards, which I’ve had the honor of producing for nearly 10 years. This is a special event that is unofficially called...
The St. Louis Art Museum recently reached out to me, saying that they wanted to look into doing their blogs differently. “They come off too much as press releases,” they said. When I looked into them, I found them filled with good...
I recently wrote an article on my LinkedIn Account on how despite the constant changes on the digital media landscape, writing articles/blogging that position you (and your business) as the “expert” is still the foundation of almost...
I’ll level with you: I have not been around the world. But I have a client who consistently turns to me to write engaging copy about beautiful destinations I have never been to. This is a gig I got through one of the local creative staffing...
As a writer/content provider for all things, few things I do are as rewarding as the Parnelli Awards. Last weekend I finished producing and writing the 15th annual award that honors those who work in the live events, and it was an astonishing...
