Hola,

I’ve been writing professionally since before Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone in 2007. I have a wealth of writing experience in B2B, B2C, the UFC and yes I know my ABCs. 

My handwriting may resemble a toddler’s but my copywriting is first class. I have had the pleasure of writing for multi-national telecommunication companies, start-ups, sports franchises, national airlines, cybersecurity software, and my all-time favorite ‘used golf balls.’ 

Brands I’ve worked with include Vodafone, Air New Zealand, NFL, Toyota, UFC, and Cigna Insurance. 

I’m a Kiwi currently living in Bogota, Colombia with my wife, where I’m attempting to improve my Spanish (it’s a work in progress, gracias.) 

Over my copywriting career, I have produced radio ads, case studies, eBooks, blogs, sports articles, emails, social media content, video scripts, radio play, and more. 

I never miss deadlines and I believe that work should be fun. So let’s talk and create something beautiful that we’re proud of and most importantly your audience/customers/clients will love too.

Blog - Designing the Back to the Future shoes

When Back to the Future Part II was released in 1989, it featured many futuristic things such as a flying Delorean, hoverboards, and a holographic Jaws 19 shark. But it was the self-lacing Nike shoes Marty McFly was wearing that grabbed sneaker lovers' attention. Maybe Doc Brown’s famous line to end Back to the Future Part I should have been — “Laces? Where we are going, we don’t need to do up our laces.” The ‘Nike Air Mag’ shoes became iconic, with every young kid who watched the film one day
