My Mission Statement
My goal is always to provide top-quality technical writing products and services with a hands-on approach. Using up-to-date tools, ingenuity and hard work, I will bring fresh ideas, creativity, and enthusiasm to your documentation requirements.

I will work independently or with your writers to assist in projects that are already underway, to perform updates or revisions of existing documentation, or to produce entirely new documentation from start to finish. I can work directly with your product, with your IT or engineering staff and with your design specifications to produce the most effective documentation type for your communication needs.

I live in Minneapolis, and am interested in work both in the Twin Cities area and in other parts of the country or world. I can relocate to any location for short or long term projects.
