About Me

Hi, I'm Gary

I help cafes, coffee chains, museums and cultural attractions increase their online visibility and drive more customer attraction with awesome content and blog post writing.  

My content isn't about filling up your website or magazine with words but will be written to attract, engage and gain more customer traffic to your cafe, coffee shop, museum or attraction.  

After having been in the Navy for twenty years and travelling the world, I've gained a deep understanding and perspective on cafes, coffee shops, museums, cultural spots and know how to write and create content that will help you market your business to resonate with your customers and drive results.  

When I'm not writing, you can find me in a coffee shop trying something new, going to an attraction, taking photographs or spending time with my son.  

Before going to coffee shops, museums and attractions I started my life out in Miami, Florida.  I grew up there and attended kindergarten to high school there before going to the Florida State University to earn my bachelor's degree in industrial engineering.  I made my way, eventually, to Atlanta, Georgia where I worked for the Italian company WAM.  They downsized the company and nine months later I found myself in the Navy for twenty years travelling the world.  From Japan to Thailand and Virginia to Spain, I went almost everywhere.  I stopped in Japan to work for a Japanese company for five years and didn't like it.  So, I decided to do something I really love.  Sitting down behind a keyboard and write for you the client.  I love to sit down at a computer or typewriter and tap my fingers on keys.  I'd like to do the same thing for you, so let's get together and make it happen!

Versatility in Every Voyage

What sets Voyages in Words apart is versatility. I navigate language across genres, from creative narratives to professional communication, always with accuracy and imagination. Whether it’s a clear, compelling copy, historically informed storytelling, or polished blog content, I adapt my voice to fit your needs. My goal is to help you communicate with impact, building trust and connection through words that endure.
