My writing skills were disciplined in newsrooms and honed in SF-based tech startups. My knack for creative, wide-ranging, and expertly researched stories helped me excel as the sole editor for an AOL-owned media property. I grew the publication using SEO, conversation-sparking content, social media, and in-person events. Over the last seven years, I've applied my skillset to content marketing. I capture visitors with striking original language and hold their interest with uncommon insights. With well-oiled conversion paths, this hard-earned traffic is never wasted.

Hi! Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mike and I'd love to collaborate with you on your next project. I have a keen eye for detail and a passion for the written word. Most importantly, I have experience. I've been a freelance journalist since 2006, but I have been writing all of my life. I have worked for such publications as, the San Francisco Examiner and the NOLA Defender. My background is in sports writing, but I like to think of myself as person with well rounded interests and that is reflected in my work. I gained a great deal of knowledge in copy writing and editing as a QA analyst for a major Silicon Valley company in the 2000s. For the last 3 plus years, I have been working almost exclusively as a writer, editor, and researcher in the AI space. Most of my work has involved RHLF training of AI chatbots. In that time, I have gained a great understanding of AI while building my own skills as a writer. I am looking for writing work mostly, but I would be just as happy to help anyone with their editing or QA needs. I have grown a lot over the past six years as a freelancer on UpWork and look forward to partnering with you on my next job.
