I launched Fountainhead Strategies in 2007.  My experience as an attorney and writer includes having worked as an Assistant AG prosecuting white-collar crime, such as insurance fraud, under State Attorneys General Scott Harshbarger and Tom Reilly.  Later, as an Assistant DA for District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett, I prosecuted defendants for a variety of street-related and white-collar crimes in Salem, Lynn, and Lawrence, MA. During those years, I drafted briefs, argued motions and handled jury trials.

I began my legal and writing career 14 years ago, after attending the New England School of Law, where I served as the Production Managing Editor of the Law Review while interning for Superior Court Justice Charles Grabau.  Following my years as a state and county prosecutor, I began focusing on writing, including my co-authorship of a legal manual for police officers on the application of constitutional law to arrests; writing various political and legal columns; assisting political campaigns with direct-mail fundraising; and working with non-profits and start-ups with their grant-writing and communications. 

I now focus on helping small businesses and local non-profits obtain media coverage; assisting executives in larger companies in putting together lively presentations, speeches and roasts; and offering speech writing and other consultation services to political campaigns.  

My partisan hat comes off when I work for clients (unless, of course, the clients are political campaigns.)  Much of my work is, in fact, non-partisan in nature.  I enjoy helping people of all political stripes build their businesses or develop their non-profit organizations.  After all, diversity of opinions is as important as every other kind of diversity.  It is for my own edification that I write op-eds during my free time.

Apart from the serious pursuit of writing, and strictly for thrills, I've performed as a stand-up comic in such venues as Nick's Comedy Stop; Giggles; and The Comedy Connection in Boston--making my perspective a little different than business-as-usual.
