It’s been communications—teaching, writing, marketing, public affairs and media consulting—for most of my working life. After grad school I taught English at NYU and City College during the Vietnam years; in the ‘70s did consulting and contract work for the U.S. Department of Education; in the ‘80s founded and managed two successful marketing communications businesses in New England.
I directed public affairs and marketing for the country’s seventh largest union (the Laborers’ International) in the ‘90s, then worked with Hillary Clinton and DNC staff on health care reform in 1993-94. More writing and consulting followed—for the University of Virginia, LexisNexis and online clients. Most recent was a three-years stint in Navy public affairs, leading communications teams in several command-wide initiatives.
I’ve written books and probably too many articles on everything from avionics to jazz. Take a look at some samples and a few kind words from clients on www.wordchoice.com.
