About Me
I'm Ted. And I write webpages that actually work.
But I wasn’t always a copywriter.
I was (and still am) a whitewater rafting guide…
A semi-famous Shakespeare teacher…
An award-winning high school writing coach…
A YouTuber (in a very small, very niche circle)…
And, for a brief moment, a background extra in Boondock Saints (true story).
So yeah—I've worn a few helmets.
From Classroom to Copy
I spent 30 years helping students find their voices and shape their stories.
Turns out, that’s not all that different from what I do now.
The difference? Now I help businesses find their voice and shape their customer’s journey.
I was a Maine Teacher of the Year state finalist and a Milken Educator Award winner. I’ve also been named Penobscot Guide of the Year (more than once) and won enough customer service awards to prove I actually like people.
But somewhere between faculty meetings and FAFSA night, I realized something:
Most “official” systems are bloated, boring, and broken.
Especially… websites.
The Flashbacks Began…
I started a YouTube channel to earn some side income from my rafting content. I studied marketing.
I wrote emails, landing pages, SEO blogs. Then Miles Beckler looked at my writing and said,
“Dude… forget YouTube. You’re a copywriter.”
He was right.
I went deep—studying the great copywriters and marketers:
Terry Dean, Frank Kern, Kevin Rogers, Perry Marshall, Andre Chaperon, Shawn Twing.
The deeper I got, the more I saw the same problem:
01
Most websites today are nothing more than digital business cards.
02
Pretty but purposeless. Stylish but stiff.
03
They might look nice… but they don’t do anything.
UX Without SEO Is a Dead End
Your website should feel intuitive. But it should also be discoverable. That’s why UX copywriting in the Digital Kingdom includes:
Search-optimized page structure
Clear H1–H3 hierarchy
Internal linking that creates pathways
Meta descriptions that entice and rank
UX + SEO = sustainable results.
What I Bring
to the Table
01. Strategic thinking, grounded in behavioral psychology
02. SEO content that’s readable and rankable
03. Systems thinking that ties copy to business outcomes
04. And a knack for helping you finally say what you’ve been trying to say all along
Also: raft guide jokes. (Optional but recommended.)
Oh, and one more thing...
I’ve worked with everyone from solo consultants to 7-figure brands. I can talk Shakespeare and split testing. Football and funnel metrics. Craft beer and conversion rate optimization. No matter what you do, I can probably relate. And I’d love to help you build a website that actually works.
