My technical writing background runs the gamut from creating winning business proposals to documenting information technology systems and procedures and pretty much every other possible writing assignment in between. I am an active researcher and the author of peer-reviewed technical papers. In recent months, I have conducted technical studies and written invention disclosures that have resulted in the award of several U.S. and international patents. The development and presentation of technical training has been a particular focus. I have created course materials and instructor guides for university level computer programming courses. In my spare time, I write historical fiction and blog.
