Welcome

I’ve enjoyed a career that has taken me from my home state of Minnesota to New York, Tokyo and London. Now, I’m back home, living in St. Paul and rearing two wonderful kids.

After working at some big companies, like The Wall Street Journal and American Public Media/Minnesota Public Radio, and doing three start-ups, notably TheStreet.com, I have struck out on my own. I do communications consulting, including strategic consulting, writing, editing and public speaking. I’ve written four books and another is in the works. I’ve also appeared on all sorts of television and radio.

In my work, I help clients find clarity in the chaos — and there seems to be no shortage of chaos these days. I work quickly and provide a steady hand. One of my specialties is investment and financial services. Certainly no shortage of chaos in that realm today.

If you’re interested in contacting me, please do reach out. While this post is introductory, I intend to offer different thoughts and ideas in future posts.
