Professional Experience
- I’ve had a fun career including:
- Running a successful writing business for over a decade
- Conducting ethnographic fieldwork in Central Mexico
- Teaching writers how to do things better and why we matter
- Being a stand-up comedian
Everything I do goes through my tech comm filter: How do we support our users, how do we get the information out there, and how do we do this in the business environment? Most of all, how can we train other people to do this?
