Specialties

During Andrew's career as a copywriter for an on-hold phone message and web content service, he wrote in a variety of styles. For instance, banking and law were often very direct and professional. This style of writing requires a firm handle on the language, and typically, no-frills are wanted. Conversely, writing for two major health food chains allowed a more relaxed, casual style. Andrew specializes in a dry, wry, and comedic style of writing preferred clients looking to entertain audiences in the brief time they have their attention.

Interests

Andrew spends much of his free time painting, drawing, and creating multi-media artwork. He also enjoys reading both fiction and non-fiction in its original, tangible format with pages one can touch. He spends three or four days a week exercising, including weights, basketball, and tennis. Self-improvement is something Andrew values, and he recently challenged himself to write down three reasons he's grateful for 21 straight days. Every reason must be unique, totaling 63 on the last day. The goal of this experiment is to become more optimistic and, well, grateful.
