My Services

I write a lot for a lot of different audiences.

I enjoy projects where I can be creative and give
clear form to complexity.
Research + Analysis
Years of legal training and practice have honed my analytical thinking and research skills. I am able to parachute into unfamiliar subject matter and swiftly grasp the key concepts and the nuance.
I have the skills to to elucidate or enhance content in a variety of digital and hardcopy formats.

I have designed and built web content management systems for a variety of legal education, research and advocacy organizations.
I can work independently to take projects from inception through to implementation. I also have experience working in team environments as a (creative + technical) contributor and project manager.
About Me
After co-founding and running an intranet development company way back in the 90s, I became a lawyer. After a few years of practicing law and editing a legal textbook, I went back to providing custom web development services. Over time, my focus shifted from technology to content development. Now that's pretty much all I do (aside from writing a novel).
Professionally, I mean. Hobbies (and references) available upon request.
