People don’t connect with logos. They connect with people. When a business is built on its owner’s name, every email is a chance to deepen that connection, or to waste it. Most owners know this. Few have the time to write consistently, and fewer have a system for turning their knowledge and personality into content that keeps working long after it’s sent.

That’s what I do. I study how audiences form relationships with the people they read, watch, and follow. I use that to write newsletters that sound like you, build trust over time, and stay relevant to every new subscriber, not just the ones who joined this week.

I’ve come to writing via the scenic route. I spent 25 years in the military, in fire support, signals intelligence, medical services, and communications, where communicating clearly with leaders, peers, and juniors is vital. After the military, I built software, created curricula, and trained roughly 100 entry-level developers, which taught me how to make complex ideas and processes easier to understand. I’m a student of unmanned systems, AI, and autonomy, and the future we’re building with these technologies.

Foxtrot Mike Media is my publishing company. “Foxtrot Mike” is the military phonetic alphabet for F and M. To me, they stand for “Force Multiplier.” That’s the idea behind everything I do: helping one voice reach further. Alongside client work, I’m writing near-future military thrillers and “The Unclassified Field Guide to Unmanned Systems.”
