the HARDY Blog

I write for fun and to fuel my desire to help people. Topics are based on whatever piques my interest and that others might find useful. My dogs will often make an appearance.

This blog also gives clients and future collaborators a sense of my natural and unique style of creativity in writing and presentation.
