Credit Expert and Writer

There's nothing I enjoy more than busting a myth or two about credit. 

Helping point someone to a resource that solves a pressing problem.

Using the power of the pen to expose costly rip-offs and scams.

Or sharing an inspiring story about someone overcame a financial challenge.

Early in my career I wrote the first mass-market book about consumer credit reports and scores. The Ultimate Credit Handbook was named one of the top 5 personal finance books of the year when it was released, and my writing career took off.

Since then I've authored 5 books and countless articles that have appeared on websites including Forbes, MSN, AllBusiness.com, The Today Show website, Yahoo!, CNN.com and many, many others. 

Articles I've Written

Below you'll see links to just a few of articles I have written for various outlets. I am available for limited freelance writing opportunities.

Feel free to contact me if you are looking for an experienced freelance writer on credit, travel and money, or small business financial topics. I am also available for interviews on these topics.
