Writing and editing is what I love to do, and what I love to do for you. Modern Day Wordsmith is all about crafting authentic and creative communication.

I've been a writer and a storyteller my whole life. My first story was written when I was 7 about a Roman martyr named Lucas after I read a novel from the 6th grade section in the library. After Lucas died in the Roman Coliseum refusing to recant his love of Christ, I formally announced to my readers that “this occurred 30 bagillion years before the Flintstones.” That day, a writer was born.

My love for the written word has opened many doors, taking me to poetry conventions as a middle schooler, giving me an editor's credit on a report done by the UN in my mid-20's and numerous bylines on technical articles and human interest pieces in between.

What I learned through all these experiences was the value of an authentic voice, a clear purpose and a quality, well-crafted sentence. Those are the factors that set one blog apart from another. I realized that the world doesn't want to read another book that sounds just like the last one. Customers don't want to read through mountains of copy looking for the point of the web page. Speeches that lack the style, finesse and elegance of a well-designed introduction don't win elections or sway opinions.

I believe that words hold tremendous power, and that those who wield them well can truly make a difference in the lives of those we interact with. As any superhero knows, with great power comes great responsibility.

That is the heart and soul of Modern Day Wordsmith. It's my sincere privilege to be a partner in those efforts, crafting messages that can hit their intended target, remain true to the voice of the writer and leave a lasting impact on the world.

Thank you for letting me be a part of that impact.
