: About Me

Len has been writing articles for Helium.com since April of 2007. He is also an editor at Helium and thoroughly enjoys the teaching/learning atmosphere of the Helium community. He is also the editorial manager of two newsletters for local music organizations and is a contributing writer to a third.

Len enjoys writing to many topics, including but not limited to music, writing/editing, web design, communication, driving, society, relationships, movies, animals, and being childfree. He is also a freelance editor and proofreader, and is constantly striving to expand his copywriting/editing company called Elite Writing Enterprises, where he helps clients choose the best words for their text-intensive projects.

In his day job, Len works for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Personally, he plays trumpet and percussion with a handful of local groups, and also enjoys conducting, arranging, and composing. He enjoys games of logic (Tantrix, Sudoku, Tetris, Chess, etc.) and loves to travel, having seen various spots in the United States, Canada, and Europe, with still more on his list.

Len strongly believes in the universal language of music, having options, never forgetting humility, and supporting animal rights. He also believes that honest, timely, and tactful communication is vital.

My passion is ...

music performance. All styles. A very close second is article writing.

I know too much about ...

working for the federal government.

My parents always told me ...

that I could be anything I wanted.

was to be a railroad engineer. That is, until I finally met one and he told me how boring it was. Bring a book!

Why I write ...

As well as being personally therapeutic, writing is one of the best ways to improve communication. In some ways, this world is desperate for better communication.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Watching movies from my Netflix queue; Listening to Straight No Chaser and a few movie soundtracks.

My first job ...

was being a babysitting chauffeur. Egad.

My best moment ...

so far, has been performing with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

My inspiration ...

is anyone who does not settle for mediocrity.
