“Hey, who’s this guy?”
I’m Alex. For 15+ years, I’ve worked as a writer, marketer and business leader in both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds (sometimes simultaneously).
Over a successful career that began at one of the the world’s leading publishers of academic reference materials, I’ve gotten to work with bestselling authors, hedge fund managers, well-known media personalities, social media influencers with 500,000+ followers and more.
As a copywriter, I’ve written promotional materials that have brought in tens of thousands of leads and generated millions in sales. I’ve built, led and managed editorial teams comprised of more than a dozen writers, editors and proofreaders.
I’ve authored hundreds of articles, essays, eBooks and research reports (and edited many thousands more). I’ve hosted podcasts, emceed flagship corporate events, led editorial workshops and spoken at conferences across the U.S. and Canada. I was even the costar of a popular YouTube series that taught the basics of personal investing.
“Don’t I know you from somewhere else?”
I’ve had fiction and nonfiction published in places like Salon, the Voices literary journal, Yahoo, Fatherly and Thought Catalog. And my work as a freelance video editor has been picked up by Huffington Post, PBS, Rolling Stone, Thrillist and other fine outlets around the web. (One of my projects - “An Ode to Movie Mainframes” - was even played at the opening of a cybersecurity conference in Helsinki.)
I’ve been quoted in Fast Company, The Daily Dot and The Business of Content, and my work has been cited in Open Screens Journal.
