Professional ghostwriter and author. I've written and published 113+ books under my own name and ghostwritten 54+ more for clients across technology, cybersecurity, healthcare, finance, and consulting. My clients include Fortune 50 executives, tech founders, business coaches, and a platinum-selling musician.
I work under three identities, and this profile sits at the intersection of them all.
I help executives, founders, business coaches, and senior professionals turn their expertise into a book. Ghostwriting, executive memoir, business and thought-leadership books, and author coaching. I spent 20 years as Director of Computer Operations and Technical Services at Trader Joe's before writing full time, which is where the technology and cybersecurity depth comes from.
Author of The Ghostwriting Advantage — the comprehensive authored buyer's guide to hiring a ghostwriter. How to Manage a Consulting Project was adopted as required reading at Purdue University's Krannert School of Management.
