I worked in the nonprofit sector for over fifteen years, primarily for organizations serving individuals with disabilities. I am excited to use my expertise in writing grants, giving campaigns, presentations, policies and procedures manuals, newsletters, budgets, and strategic plans to help nonprofit organizations grow and thrive. As a former nonprofit program director and executive director, I have first hand experience drafting and implementing these documents in the organizations where I worked. I understand that nonprofit organizations never have enough time, staff, or dollars to accomplish all that needs to be done. Let me help you stretch all three by creating documents that can be used for a specific purpose or as templates that you can use repeatedly.

I have over 15 years of experience as a: --writer --editor --social media content creator and manager --blog manager --Wix website designer and manager --marketing campaign creator and executor --designer of newsletters, flyers, and other deliverables requiring involving graphic design --proofreader --photographer --nonprofit marketer --awareness campaign creator --nonfiction video script writing and video production (including routine on-camera appearances) Most of my professional experience has involved working and volunteering in the nonprofit sector--primarily nonprofit marketing communications--because I love furthering a cause that "makes a difference" in our world. Most of the nonprofits I've worked with involve serving underprivileged people. I'm adept at working remotely and independently, but I also thrive when I have an opportunity to collaborate with others. I've designed, built, populated, and maintained websites for businesses, managed all blog and social media activity for multiple entities simultaneously--creating and scheduling all the content myself, as well as interacting with the public on those platforms. I've written and designed countless email campaigns, newsletters, flyers, and more. I take pride in creating work that is high-quality both in terms of written content and visual appeal. I'm always striving to improve my output--such as by looking at benchmarks and best practices for the industry I'm involved in. I enjoy finding new and creative ways to present information and boost engagement. I find the analytics sections of websites, email automation platforms, and social media channels fascinating and intriguing--and one of the best ways I can learn how I can improve my work. I am detail-oriented, take initiative, am enthusiastic, and love juggling multiple tasks at once. I thrive with variety in my day-to-day work. Creating--and meeting--deadlines is par for the course in this line of work and something I'm very comfortable with. I'm organized and enjoy brainstorming and implementing efficient systems and processes that boost productivity. *I have a master's degree in Journalism and a bachelor's degree in English and Interdisciplinary Communications--a pillar of which was courses in art/design. *I have a second master's degree in Development Practice, which emphasized sustainable development around the world. *I have a certificate in social media marketing.

I have found that storytelling is the best way to inspire change in the life of those you are trying to reach. I have worked on the craft of storytelling to inspire change as a full-time pastor, American football coach, and freelance writer. My writing has been featured on the website of the number 1 high school football coaching podcast, books, magazines, youtube scripts, and numerous blogs. I also ghostwrite for many high-profile clients. My favorite job has been writing my devotional book for high school boys. It came out during the fall of 2024. It is titled Daily Devotionals for Teen Boys: 100 Devotions for High School Boys. You can check it out on Amazon. I love learning about and telling the story of a company. I recently interviewed Daniel Henderson and 4 others associated with Strategic Renewal International. I took that information and wrote an article on the 29-year prayer movement attached to Strategic Renewal. This article was distributed in a journal at their International Conference in May. I have worked on email marketing projects, devotionals, motivational scripts for Christian YouTube videos, book reviews, and speeches. I can work on any type of Christian written content. I have a very flexible schedule. Due to that, I have very quick turnaround times, as many I have worked with can attest to (as can be read below in my reviews). I am also very good at listening to what the client wants and tweaking it until we get it right. Here are a couple of reviews from past clients. "I've been working with Brett for a few months now. He's been very easy to work with, and the writing he has done for me has been of a high standard. Definitely recommend if you're in need of a clear and concise writer." "Brett wrote a daily email for me for 8 - 9 months. Great experience working with him. Submitted all projects on time, and very rarely were any corrections/changes needed. I'd highly recommend Brett for all writing jobs." "Brett is a gifted writer, and his style really speaks to people." "Brett is a great writer! He wrote an easy-to-read and informative post for me. He's also super easy to work with and completes the assignment well ahead of the due date. Highly recommend!" "Brett's writing has helped a lot of people understand the Bible more and grow in their walk."

I am known as the calm fixer, are there team members who need help realizing their full potential, do teams need to work better together, are you struggling with managing the goals of your strategic plan, is the plan too long, is it too short? Do you need someone to align your team on how to get things done? I have had the opportunity to work with city of chicago government officials, Chief Executive Officers as the Chief of staff, other major urban city non profit leaders, budget officers, grant officers, human resources, IT and marketing execs. The first half of my career I was in a for profit setting on the consumer packaged goods side of business. I have extensive experience helping organizations sift through the layers of the inability to make decisions that impact your bottom line. I will leave you with tools that can be forever distributed in your org for any situation at any level. Are decisions lingering and you need help now, please let's connect.
