I’m an editor and writer with over 13 years of experience. I’m a creative thinker and team player who values efficiency and accuracy. Though my background is in behavioral health, my passion and joy have always been writing and editing. I’ve worked on numerous projects – big and small – and I enjoy helping authors and other writers turn their stories into literary realities.
I write and edit books, manuscripts, academic papers, contracts, reports, letters, website content, blogs, PowerPoint presentations...you name it. I have a significant amount of experience with ghostwriting books, blogs, and web content, as well as self-publishing. My top goal is building relationships with my clients through communication, curiosity, and collaboration – three primary ingredients for success.
I live in Austin, Texas with my wife, Regina, and our three furry children, Reece and Stevie (dogs), Shima (cat), and our bearded dragon, Jett. In my free time, I love soaking up all of what our amazing city has to offer—nature, music, delicious restaurants, and unique experiences. I'm also an avid snowboarder and enjoy traveling, hiking, building things, gardening, playing disc golf, and attending concerts.

As the founder, owner, and operator of several companies, I love helping businesses grow. My entrepreneurial spirit and passion for life have been the driving force in creating and providing development advice for multiple start-up companies, including IzzyEdit. I highly value fostering long-term connections with both clients and team members, and I truly enjoy assisting others with discovering how to combine their passions with business, talents with inspiration.
In 2003, I merged my love for construction and business, and founded Girls Gone Clean, a commercial and residential cleaning company. Two years later, I founded MissManaged Productions, which focused on empowering the female community through incredible events showcasing local artists and musicians, and working with numerous non-profit organizations. I founded Spot On CC, Inc., a company that’s provided construction cleaning services in the Austin, San Antonio, Waco, and Houston areas, in 2009, and we’ve continued expanding ever since.
