I seek truth and authenticity in myself and others. I have many interests in life, and writing gives me the opportunity to explore, learn, and share that journey.
Background: Working my way through college, I enjoyed various sciences, English literature, and writing from which I developed skills in reviewing technical information. Other freelance work I've enjoyed involved developing test questions, fact checking, hosting and moderating various social media, retail website development and maintenance, and copyediting.
In the past 30 years, I estimate that I have written and delivered thousands of technical and non-technical presentations, reports, assessments, training materials, and project plans to support education, high tech, banking, real estate, risk management, government, defense, and aviation. My audiences have ranged from consumers to government auditors to top executives and boards of directors. Most everything has been proprietary and supported key business objectives including sales, strategy, and marketing. I picked up a few business-related certifications along the way, e.g., PMP, CISA, and CRISC, and developed and maintained my own retail website to help support vascular health.
Today, I still enjoy digging into things and sharing what I find. My interests in business, sciences, and research persist. And my interest in the human condition increases as the pages of my life continue to turn. When time permits, I polish the brightwork on a little sailboat and think about the details of my next writing project.
I offer my writing, research, and editing skills for most any topic and use my project management background to ensure discipline in delivery. My weblog site shares more about my research interests and helps others with theirs: Research Bench. My trademark motto of my writing style and content, "A little of the science and a lot of the hope."
