👋🏼 Hey, it’s Scott. I’m a full-time Freelance Copywriter.

With powerful copy and content, I’ve helped tell the story for:

  • B2B Companies

  • Nonprofits

  • Personal Brands

With a career starting out in the classroom, how did I end up here

Some background…

I got my bachelor’s degree in English. After graduating, I wrote and published a fiction novel. Then, I took a break from the keyboard to focus on my new passion: teaching. I’d spend over a decade in the classroom, teaching persuasive writing and research skills, and serving as creative director on school newspaper and yearbook publications.

Then the epiphany happened.

A future in copywriting became imminent when I realized I could combine my understanding of persuasive writing with my ability to captivate an audience (classroom). Tapping into the musicality of language and choosing the right words for the biggest impact had always come natural to me… so why not start telling brand stories that sell?

The fine print: I grew up playing team sports and acoustic guitar in Northern California. I’m also ambidextrous. My dog Leo would say I’m your classic night owl, which technically makes him one too.

“Extremely reliable, and a pleasure to work with — Scott is a highly skilled communicator who I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for copywriting and marketing help. He's a strong listener who took the time to understand who we were as an organization and who our target clients are in order to establish messaging that is impactful and meaningful.”

Ted Pawela Executive Director, The Music Company

With me, you’ll get:

  • Reliable + responsive communication

  • Copy that echoes your authentic brand voice

  • Unmatched organization + quick turnaround

  • The perspective of a former educator
