I thought it would be a good idea here to tell you who I am and where I'm coming from. I'm probably a little more "seasoned" than the younger breed of Technical Writers you may have met in the past. But I'm sure you'll agree that maturity and experience are highly desirable traits in the fast-paced world of Information Technology.

I have over 25 years of professional writing experience, beginning back in the 1970s as an Intelligence Officer with the CIA overseas and stateside. From that period until my retirement in 1995, I wrote for high-level audiences in Washington including the White House and Congress, and later led a staff of writers in one of the most demanding, high-pressure environments in terms of expected excellence in personal background and integrity, education, training, research skills, and writing ability.

But that world trained me well and has guided me to an excellent opportunity as a Technical Writer in corporate America. Upon my retirement from CIA my family and I moved to Atlanta, and for the past 15 years I have been writing for a variety of company IT departments here and enjoying every minute of it.

Jack's technical writing is accurate, concise, and perfectly written for the intended audience. He is up on the most current tools of his trade and conversant in the technologies used in our industry. Jack is someone I would recommend for any technical writing engagement.
