Client Feedback

"It was important to work with a copywriter who understood the issues firsthand as a sportsman. PJ was the perfect fit. He performed his own research to help tell the story. We could not be happier with our final product."

"PJ invested time to ensure he clearly understood the project deliverables. He supplied us with a written product that clearly spoke to our audience; his pithy descriptions and punchy anecdotes hit the mark."

Behind the Byline

I write real stories thanks to a background in English literature, journalism, and manual labor. I specialize in issues and topics involving hunting, fishing, and conservation, but I’ve been known to write just about anything—from squirrel taxidermy to honest gear reviews.

I’ve installed irrigation systems, dug trails as a member of Americorps, and washed more than my share of dishes. In short, I enjoy working. A little weird, I know.

I bring more than 25 years of experience to the table, having honed my craft as a newspaper reporter, freelance journalist, hunting editor, and now, as editor-in-chief of Fair Chase magazine. As a business owner specializing in contract work, I bring that same dedication and expertise to every client’s project.
