Testimonials
Here’s what people I’ve worked with
have to say about me.
Catherine Gulsvig Wood, Associate Director, Accenture
Having recruited, hired, and worked with many writers during my career, I can honestly say that Michael has something that's hard to find: he just "gets it." He "gets" how to listen to a brief and communicate what's important, in the most effective way.
He walked into a quirky team and quickly became part of that team's fabric. He became the person to whom everyone turned – our engineers, our designers, our support team – for advice on nomenclature, UI labels, help text, e-mail communications, and more. Especially important to me, he was a great sounding board for introducing new features, including how to name them, how to talk about them in our messaging, and how to present them in our UI.
Besides that, he's funny as all get-out – the value of which can't be overestimated, especially on projects with tight deadlines. I strongly recommend Michael.
Brad LaPorte, Gartner Veteran and Cybersecurity Advisor
I've had the honor of working with Michael over the past year and have brought him into my top accounts to help create thought-provoking and first-of-its-kind thought leadership content. When we began working together, Michael did not have an extensive background in cybersecurity. But he built on his previous technical knowledge and almost immediately took on very complex projects with stellar results.
Among the topics we have worked on together are ransomware protection and response, vulnerability management, attack surface management, xIoT security, infrastructure safeguarding, and polymorphic malicious software. He has assisted me with taking difficult-to-explain topics and breaking them down with easy-to-understand analogies for the common reader, creating content that has been very well received by the cybersecurity community.
Michael is very versatile in his range, able to compose blogs along with datasheets, whitepapers, eBooks, and other key marketing material. I will continue to leverage Michael to add as a critical fulcrum for my business. I highly recommend him for any project you need assistance with. Michael is top industry talent and a must-have!

Michael is far more than a copywriter – he’s really more like a freelance marketing director. I’ve relied on him to help me promote my complex consulting business, and he’s been fantastic. His writing is superb, but more than that he's consistently found ways to make complicated topics clear and funny and engaging. Honestly, I can't really imagine where my blog would have been without his guidance.
He often suggests new angles for my marketing pieces and catches mistakes in not just grammar, but mathematical calculations. Yeah – he is that good! If you’re looking for someone to help with PR, email, websites, ads, blogs, speeches, videos, etc., Michael is your man. He’s the best.
Gwen Ackley, Creative Director/Copywriter, CGI Interactive Communications
I've recently completed a series of solution videos and eBooks for one of our technology clients. Michael was very helpful during the writing phase as we worked through various formats and topics for the series. Michael is always responsive and attentive, while his writing is extremely thorough and fast! And, he isn't afraid to ask tough questions to make sure the goals of the work being satisfied.
Ed Contini, Senior Product Manager, Accenture
I worked closely and collaboratively with Michael for two years in my role as Accenture Cloud Platform (ACP) Product Manager for Cloud Enablement. Michael became an indispensable member of the product management team. He quickly learned the subject matter, despite the complexities of cloud computing in general, and of the ACP management platform. More than just providing both technical and non-technical users with accurate and helpful information, Michael succinctly described a deep and broad portfolio of features and capabilities and solved complicated communication challenges. He developed a style that was casual without being flippant, a friendly tone that made the product more approachable and enhanced its perceived quality.
He did his job so well, in fact, that even though I had worked for many years on the product before Michael joined the team, I ended up using his descriptions in webinars, training materials and in general product communications because they clearly and efficiently conveyed the essence of each feature and capability.
