About The Redhead
The Head Redhead
Writer, disruptive presence, devil’s advocate. You’ve found my rant blog – if you’d like to read more from The Redhead, check out my Guest Credits. I’m a climber, aspiring cyclist and gluten/dairy-free freak with a writing problem. I find the human creature engaging and think that humor is a tool best used when practiced, sharpened and under the influence of clear distilled beverages.
Specialties:
SEO copywriting for the web, branding & identity solutions, tag lines, social media marketing, social networking for businesses, blogging and ghost blogging, short & long-form fiction/non-fiction, editorial, advertising copy, financial markets, real estate, extreme sports.
I’m also rather talented when it comes to devouring jalapeño poppers and the random bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, can belt-out Janis Joplin’s “Mercedes Benz” acapella, and do (so I’m told) brilliant vocal impressions of both Golum/Smegel from Lord of the Rings and Bart Simpson (not from Lord of the Rings).
In the winter, I climb ice and other snowy structures. Crampons have nothing to do with my menstrual cycle. In the warmer months, I’m on a bike or rock face or mountain top when I’m not breaking bones.
