In truth, I am a philosopher first, even before I am a writer. I thrill in the chase of ideas. Thus, one of my favorite quotes is that of Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.: “A mind expanded by a new idea never returns to its former size.” Second, then, to the chase of ideas, is the glory in fashioning those ideas into some useful form. The writing. That’s what I love and that’s what I get paid for. I will write anything. I will write you an article, a poem, a press kit, a letter, a newsletter, a brochure, a portfolio, an ad campaign, even a book (I've written and published eight of those); I will even pen for you a jingle.
