Wonow Media

Ever have one of those moments when you think, “Whoa now, this is an amazing story”? Yeah. Me too. And I’ve always felt the need to share it. Which is why I got a degree in journalism, specialized in magazines and then expanded into digital media, marketing and content creation. For over two decades I’ve worked in every facet of the communications industry and I’ve learned there are fascinating tales in everything we do. Yes, I’m drawn to the more adventurous, long-form assignments but I believe good storytelling elevates everything from website content to social media posts. And that’s why Wonow is pronounced “Whoa now!”

Latest Writings

Most of the content I produce can be found on other websites and in various publications but I include links in my stories section and occasionally inject thoughts about how it all came together. And when I’m really inspired, I’ll just write for myself and throw it here to appease my ego.
