Keynote speaker. Author. CPA. Nerd.

We live in a nerdy world.  Technology is complicated. Accounting is riddled with jargon.  Acronyms are everywhere.  We are busy LOLing and OMGing.  We are missing out on important information. 

We need a translator. 
​
​People need to work with numbers. Businesses have to work with financial statements. You need to explain a piece of software and how to use it.  You need your team of employees to understand how to fill out their expense reports or to understand the implications of sales tax when they ship a product.  And if you are in wine country, you need to know about the TTB and their rules for shipping wine. 

Hire me for help making sense of it all.

​​​I can help
 
​I am a nerd for hire. I can take that "goobery" subject matter and translate it into a meaningful but entertaining message. I can get any audience to understand even the nerdiest of topics.  I craft content that works. Written, spoken, video, puppet shows, the medium doesn't matter.  I  have delivered keynotes and breakouts, whitepapers and blog posts and the idea is the same - make boring (but important) stuff interesting . Hire me. 
 
If instead, you happen to be the nerd (or even non-nerd) who wants to be heard, I can help you craft a message that makes you a hero.  Want to deliver a TEDx talk? I have been coaching TEDxNapaValley speakers since 2012 after delivering my own basset hound themed talk in 2011.

What is a nerd?

Anyone who has lots of specialized knowledge.

According to Matthew Syed, author of Bounce: Mozart,Federer, Picasso, Beckham, and the Science of Success, it takes 10,000 hours of nerdy devotion for someone to become an expert in any subject. 

I specialize in creating content on nerdy subjects. Hire me for help getting the word out about your business, software, or product. Got a special whiz bang doohickey that makes life better for business people? I can tell your story. 

What I offer is a bridge. A filter. A way to mold that volume of incredible insight into something that connects with everybody else. 

It can be written messaging or webinars, a whitepaper, website, or a live presentation but the issue is the same - as a communicator, you need to connect with your audience.

This website shares insights from my own quest to communicate accounting and technology subjects in a new and entertaining way.

My personal nerd tendencies lean heavily towards Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, pens, software tools, and anything that involves math.

If you need a translator, are looking for an angle, want to connect financial statements with wine or gerbil workouts with technology I might be able to help.
