Being in advertising, Los Angeles was the place to be for many years. I got to work on all kinds of different accounts, from start-ups to big-time national clients. I had a ton of fun, won a lot of awards and earned a reputation as a copywriter clients could count on. Well, you know what they say: You can take the copywriter out of L.A. but you can't find a better one than on a goat farm in Oregon.
Yep, from my office here on Wonky Farms, I freelance for clients all over the country. It's an ideal arrangement for everybody. My clients get the smart, strategic concepts and copy they expect from a hotshot L.A. writer and the goats - not to mention the sheep, chickens, cats and dogs - get the love and care they deserve. Every animal here is a rescue.
Below, is a brief CV and a seriously exhaustive list of past and present clients.
I'm also a wildlife rehabilitator and that's me with one of the many orphaned raccoons I have fostered
