He has written features and reporting for top Arizona outlets and national publications, earning a dozen state and national awards while maintaining an active portfolio of recent work. On the design side he has produced print and digital marketing for major brands like US Airways/American, PetSmart, U-Haul and Ingram Micro, and is fluent in print production, web publishing and data-driven layout workflows. Comfortable editing trade publications in medical, building and hospitality sectors, he combines AP-style rigor with hands-on proofing and conversion of print to digital editions. A pragmatic generalist, he pairs a BS in Business Administration with deep production know-how, making him as effective at storytelling as he is at designing the pages that carry it. He also maintains a modest code/tools presence with newer projects on sourcehut, reflecting a continued interest in digital workflows beyond traditional publishing.
