About me

I can help you write your next book.

After a career in the restaurant business in Manhattan, which included over a decade at the famous writer and celebrity hangout, Elaine’s, my life took a write turn. I was into my thirties when I completed an undergraduate media studies program at Fordham University and then went on to obtain a master’s in journalism from Columbia University.

A proven track record.

Since then, I’ve authored six non-fiction books, including two critically acclaimed memoirs. I also help other people craft published memoirs. As a ghostwriter, I’ve worked with sports stars, internet influencers, hedge fund managers, TV and news personalities, and elected officials, more than a dozen published ghostwriting project in all, five of which made the New York Times bestseller list.
