Testimonials

A few kind words from satisfied clients and editors...

Dan worked with us for three months to cover a maternity leave in my department. During that time he consistently turned in clean copy that was both on-time and on-strategy. Dan is a pleasure to work with. If we ever have an opening in the future I would not hesitate to hire him again.

-Erica Deitzel, User Experience Director, Ripple Effects Interactive

If you are looking for someone who can jump right in, impress you with his skills, professionalism and dedication, Dan is definitely your guy. He was able to immediately grasp our needs and deliver with an eye for detail and the ability to work with minimal direction. Dan also has a great personality – which makes him a joy to work with. I would recommend Dan to anyone who is looking for a secret weapon in the interactive realm.

Daniel is incredibly talented.  He came into a very intense and difficult situation, and immediately grasped the complexity of the situation and knew exactly how to attack the problem.  I'd hire him anytime for any situation. He's smart, quick and flexible. Without question, he was an asset to our team.

-Tina Mengine, Former Communications Director, City of Erie, PA

Daniel is one of the most talented and reliable writers I have had the privilege to work with.  His prose has the ability to compliment any publication.  I highly recommend him.

-Linda Auth Gerber, Former Editor, The Point North; North Hills Monthly Magazine  

Daniel has been an invaluable media relations consultant and writer for the Pittsburgh Sports League.  Our league has been covered nationally on NPR and locally in both newspapers and television stations.  This press exposure was a result of his persistence and enthusiasm for his work.  He also writes our quarterly newsletter, Sport Shorts, which informs participants of league results, previews and news.  He does all layout and design work in addition to writing the copy in the newsletter.  His work is always very clear, concise and on time.  He is very professional in his communications and is an invaluable resource to the Pittsburgh Sports League.

-Charlie Kennedy, Former Manager, Pittsburgh Sports League  

I worked with Dan at the Allegheny County Bar Association.  I had been serving as the editor of The Lawyers Journal and was recently named director of communications.  Public relations fell under my purview.  The problem?  Although I had loads of experience in writing and editing, I had none in the art of public relations.   Zero.  Zip.  The solution?  I hired Dan and he proceeded to promote the ACBA to local, regional and national media with great success.  Through his direction, the media picked up stories about the ACBA's pro bono efforts, community education projects, and foundation work.  Moreover, he was astute in handling delicate communications issues such as lawyers or judges behaving badly. He made both the ACBA and me look really good.

-Lisa M. Goetz, Former Editor, The Lawyers Journal  

From the first story I assigned him, Dan's style, thoroughness and sensitivity shone. In particular Dan's ambition and tenacity impress me - he doesn't quit until he gets what he needs to make an article or project the best it can be.  He is a true professional.
