I have been collecting and herding words my whole life! Beginning at a very early age my round up and placement of thought-provoking vocabulary garnered the attention and recognition of others. The choice of words placed into phrases, then into sentences, then into context is a passion that has filled much of my life. It is a high calling to express oneself with the written word. From my earliest years to now, writing has always been an integral component in my life. These expressions, verbal and written, have tagged me as “The Word Herder.”

It has been my good fortune to participate in several professional careers over the course of my life. I have applied my talents to school teaching, and writing; small business ownership, and writing; sales and marketing, and writing; university graduate level research, and writing. As is evident, writing has been my companion throughout! No matter the particular topic, I always have the occasion and desire to “write about it.” I am the word nerd who actually takes notes at symposiums and events! And not just on the presented topics. I find people, settings, interactions and conversations fascinating. The entire visual, auditory, kinesthetic experience is worth noticing and noting.

The world we live in is a large and wondrous place. I have traveled the globe soaking in the scenery, culture and customs near and far. I have even lived in the bush of Alaska. Translated, this means a native village in the wilderness. One of my personal character traits that allows me to provide the appropriate tone and style to any written piece is an open-minded willingness to learn. This ability has been fostered by my travels.

One of my specialties is Internet marketing through SEO strategies. Other equally important qualities that I bring to the table are timely and effective communications, dedication to and respect for client deadlines, flexibility during the process, and adherence to stringent research criteria.

I am now, and will remain, a writer!
