Available for hire

I’m Garth, a digital communications professional helping organizations say the right thing, in the right place, at the right time.

Based in Washington, DC. I help clients navigate digital strategy, social media, and content communications that actually connect with people.

About Me

I’m a digital communications director with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations, from government agencies to nonprofits to private firms, communicate more clearly and more strategically in a crowded digital world.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: knowing not just what to say, but wherehow, and when to say it. Whether it’s a crisis communications moment, a social media overhaul, or a long-term content strategy, I bring a practical, audience-first approach to every project.

When I’m not working, I’m probably reading something that makes me think differently about technology, media, or human behavior, and writing about it here.

My Twitter feed was a mass of political rage, my Facebook feed was littered with ads and old high school classmates complaining about their children or politics, and even my trusty LinkedIn feed seemed dull and annoying. I had just read Cal Newport’s thought-provoking Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused
