About me
I've been working with words for over 15 years, originally as a journalist and more recently as a copywriter, content writer and ghostwriter. Regardless of the role, I've got a passion for telling other people's stories. I'm keen to consider any ghostwriting, copywriting, content writing or journalism roles.

    I was the ghostwriter behind 'Zero to 60', the life story of Tony Quinn, a self-made man who made his millions selling pet food before investing in his passion for motorsport. Tony built Highlands Motorsport Park in Central Otago in 2012 and bought Hampton Downs in 2015. As well as a circuit owner he's also a very successful driver in his own right as well as the category owner of the Australian GT Championship. 'Zero to 60' went straight to Number One in the New Zealand Non-Fiction Bestseller's List when it was released in August 2016 before it was knocked off the top spot by a certain Richie McCaw, the former All Blacks captain. I'm currently working on my second book for a leading New Zealand company celebrating its 20th anniversary in business in 2017. The book is a celebration and a historical record of the highs and lows of managing a fast growing, family run business.
