Copywriting
From racing corvettes in the desert to sipping cocktails in San Francisco to witnessing the 2016 World Series, writing has allowed me to experience amazing moments. I’ve written for professional sports teams, travel publications and companies launching new brands.

Cleveland Guardians Name Unveil
This is one of the most fun and meaningful projects I've had the honor of working on. I wrote the voiceover script to announce the new Cleveland Guardians name ... which was then read by Tom Hanks!
One of the most important parts of a football (soccer) club's branding is the kit. I had the opportunity to help edit this voiceover script to unveil Charlotte FC's primary kit for the 2024 season - The Carolina Kit: Explore.
I worked with Pritt Entertainment Group to assist in editing this voiceover script that unveiled the new University of Akron branding. From the original script, I helped rewrite and manage two rounds of edits.
Travel & Entertainment
In an assignment for Southwest Airlines, I traveled to San Francisco to scope out the craft cocktail scene. (Life is rough, I know!) I loved all of the local ingredients that were sourced to create new takes on old classics.
I had the opportunity to interview Brad Paisley in 2013 ahead of the launch of his album "Wheelhouse." It was a great conversation and was published in the US Airways Magazine.
Winston-Salem is a hidden gem of a city in North Carolina, and I was more than happy to explore and write about some of the best spots throughout the city for this "Best Of" city profile piece.
Misc.
The International Civil Rights Museum is located in Greensboro, NC where one of the first sit-ins took place. I was honored to visit the museum when it first opened and write this piece for a local publication.
In order to better educate passengers, US Airways (now American Airlines) featured behind-the-scenes articles in their monthly magazine placed in all seat backs. I wrote these articles from 2012 to 2014 including this one detailing the pilot training process.
Another feature that I got to write for US Airways (now American Airlines), was a piece about plane maintenance. It was fascinating to see how planes are checked and maintained on a regular basis, and this piece ending up winning a gold Addy Awards.
