Commercial Writing Services
As a writer and photographer I offer a variety of creative services that may be valuable to you or your business. Please scroll down the page to the category of services that interest you for more details. Alternatively, the links on the left side of the page will take you directly to that section of this page. Because each project is unique and filled with its own peculiar challenges I cannot price list on this site--to do so would most likely lead to misunderstanding. Instead, if there is service that may be helpful to you, please send me an email with as many details about your particular project as possible, and I will respond as soon as I am able.
Consultation
As a twenty-year police veteran and professor of criminal justice I have gathered a tremendous amount of experience in criminal investigation, police procedure and the police subculture. If your next project is a police procedural, legal thriller, or whodunit, I can offer manuscript reviews and consultation to ensure your characters are believable, your procedures are accurate, and your attempts to capture the nuance of police work and crime fighting are spot on.
Copy Writing
Whether for a web site, brochure, flyer or annual report, I can offer your tightly written, succinct adverstising copy that issues that all-critical call to action.
Ghost Writing
Whether you are a busy academic, well-known celebrity, or harried housewife with a compelling story to tell, I can help you bring your words to the page. From initial outline, to proposal, to finished manuscript I can help you realize your dream of publication.
Photography and Videography
As an accomplished photographer and videographer, I can offer you a variety of services in the visual arts. Whether you need editorial support for an article, brochure or annual report, or you need a complete training video, please consider the value that a professional photographer, who also understands the demands of the written word can bring to your next project.

Speech Writing
Public speaking is difficult enough under the best circumstances, why make it more daunting by being unprepared? Most people who are tasked with giving a speech are so overwhelmed by the thought of standing in front of an audience that they give very little thought to the words they are actually preparing to deliver. I can take away half of your burden. Why not let someone who speaks publicly for a living help ensure your success. Whether you've been asked to address the board of directors, or the graduating class of your alma mater, I can help you prepare a compelling, theme-driven message, that will inspire, move, and remain memorable to your audience long after you've left the podium. Additionally, as an accomplished public speaker, I can coach you throughout the process and help you to present the most polished image possible.
Scriptwriting
Tired of the same old talking head corporate attempts at delivering your message, then put your next training video, informercial, or multimedia project in my hands. Regardless of the message, if it is important enough to spend the resources to deliver it in a multimedia format, then it's important enough to give it the best foundation. Without a solid, well developed script that understands both your audience and your message, you have no hope of capturing your audience's attention. As an accomplished writer and photographer, I understand the interplay between the written word, spoken word, and visual images. Let me work with you to maximize the effectiveness of all three media of communication to create an impactful and effective multimedia event.
