Docere, Delectare, Movere – I’m steeped in the rich and powerful tradition of classical rhetoric, blending political and ethical wisdom with tactical communication tools that inform, please, and move. I harness the heuristic power of language to discover and structure effective argument, narrative, and style tuned to the moment, subject, and audience.
