The Power Writer
“Jim worked with me and my team to develop and write an online journal for my former employer, an environmental consulting firm. I found Jim adept at research, efficient and considerate when interviewing senior staff, and skilled at distilling complex topics into accessible text. He was always responsive and reliable.”
“I worked with Jim for two years as VP of Comms and Content at supply chain risk company, Resilinc. Jim wrote a wide range of top-notch content—from blog posts to Harvard Business Review guest articles for our CEO and annual report copy. Jim is an excellent writer, listener, researcher, and facilitator.”
About Jim
Jim had no idea how much he would enjoy and excel at business journalism until he penned a profile of an architect for a business publication in Southern California. Somehow, he knew the right questions to ask, and his front-page article conveyed the architect’s passion for his craft along with cogent details about the arc of his business over decades. Jim went on to write for regional business journals and trade publications ranging from National Fisherman to Environmental Business Journal.
About 15 years ago, he began conducting market research and writing B2B content for clients. He has since served large international organizations—such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development—start-ups and early-stage firms in energy and supply chain management, non-profits and trade associations, and large firms in energy, engineering, insurance-linked securities, and other professional services.
Talk It Out
In addition to writing, Jim has another vocation: he helps people who disagree about politics and morality talk things over in ways that can reduce fear and anger and increase trust and respect.
