Patrick Collins

For more than 15 years I've been crafting content that explains how technology levels the playing field for organizations that know how to use it. My specialties are healthcare, education and security. I've worked on behalf of global brands such as Microsoft, HP and Samsung as well as smaller organizations developing technology that's still finding its place in the market. In addition to running my own freelance practice and a stint with a boutique agency, I spent seven years as a content strategist, writer and manager on various Microsoft accounts at Waggener Edstrom Worldwide. You may reach me via email at pword313 at msn dot com and by text/telephone at 503-231-8866.
