Testimonials
“I’ve now hired Mike on three separate occasions and each time he’s epitomized how I’d like every relationship of this kind to unfold. I will continue to work with Mike far into the future and support his work at the highest level! He brings a level of creativity and freshness to his work, and is ‘teaching’ me in the process – a bonus!
Mike, thanks again for making it so easy, fun, yet professional working with you!”

“It was such a relief to have Mike take a project off my hands. First, he was so easy to work with. I sent him previous drafts & ideas, a pile of information, and we had a couple of conversations — that’s all it took. The result was a piece that met the need for an upcoming event, has a shelf-life for future use, delivered on time.
Mike brought both clarity & creativity to something that had me stumped. I am happy to recommend Mike and will look forward to working with him in the future.”

“I hired Michael with a looming deadline to produce a multitude of short articles covering several different industries. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the articles prior to deadline and I didn’t have any major edit requests. His writing was insightful, spot on, and within specified parameters. I will definitely work with Michael in the future and recommend him to others.”

“Mike completed a faculty profile project with me for the Willamette University MBA program. The project involved organizing, interviewing and writing about eleven different members of the Willamette MBA faculty. Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated professionalism, creativity and skill.
Timely, responsive and detail-oriented are all words I would use to describe Mike’s work. Not only did Mike acquire information for each person interviewed, his written descriptions and biographies capture each person’s personality and unique style. That’s the mark of a good interviewer and writer – no easy task.”

“Mike was instrumental in assisting the AMA Oregon Chapter with our 2008-2009 annual report. As the AMA Oregon Chapter President, I recruited Mike to assist with copywriting, but quickly realized I needed his project management skills as well. I was impressed immediately with Mike’s ability to jump in and get the project moving with little direction from me. He helped our team define our unified voice and discover the most effective ways to format and present our final product. Thanks to his efforts we had a final draft one month ahead of schedule. None of this would have been possible without him.”

“Mike’s professionalism, clarity and talent in words is phenomenal. I was stalled for over a year on writing my text for my website and with his expertise and intuition we had it done in weeks. He has the ability to say exactly what you want to convey in the most powerful, direct and succinct way. He was easy to work with and I am more than pleased with the final product. I highly recommend without a doubt his services for any industry.”

“As member of the Bridges Green Business Networking group, Mike offered to edit everyone’s bio. I took Mike up on his offer and the result was amazing. I constantly tweak my bio to make it more “user-friendly”, but it took Mike seemingly a few strokes of a pen to retool technical and jargony language into a highly readable and much more personal, understandable and engaging piece. Now I’m hoping Mike can help me edit all of my marketing copy for consistency with the bio!
I highly recommend Mike for your copywriting and editing, particularly if you want your marketing copy to sound less corporate and more human.”

“I worked with Mike on the task of re-polishing how I describe my business to others. I thought what I currently used was good; Mike turned my good into great. Mike provided the proof that how I convey what I do is really more than words. Mike created a concise and impactful statement that had me shaking my head in agreement all the way through. Mike is first on my list for all writing projects. Without a doubt would I recommend his services as his gift is the ability to have you and your audience shaking your head yes.”

“Mike improved one of our marketing communications and worked his magic with a rewrite. The improved version was snappier, more inviting and a vast improvement. He is a consummate professional, easy to work with and does outstanding work. I am a good writer but Mike’s service saves us time and allows us to focus on our core strengths helping us be of better service to our clients and in the end, more profitable.”

“Mike was a huge help in the proposal I was writing. He was able to easily grasp the big picture of the project, and narrow it into a more concise and accurate description. He offered excellent feedback that eventually led to more clarity in the final draft. He saved me hours of time, and created a more powerful proposal.”

“I would highly recommend Mike’s services without reservation.
Mike’s questions were specific, to the point and showed he was not only listening but trying his best to understand what our services offered and who our audience is so that he could best prepare the copy. He offered multiple drafts for my review written from different perspectives, and encouraged my feedback on each draft. He persevered to make sure I was satisfied with the outcomes.
His ability to offer Spanish translation is key in reaching the families in our community.”
