Rory’s background encompasses writing, event and project management, and website design, applying a subtle personal touch to each client project. His expertise with the written word is evident even when composing complex communications for clients such as San Jose-based solar power company SunPower Corporation, where Rory not only authored numerous articles but also helped design and launch the company’s intranet site.

In his client work with Hewlett-Packard, Rory serves as chief editor for two company-wide newsletters, allowing him to don the many hats of writer, manager and editor all at once. With Symantec, Rory has been busy planning the company’s annual Senior Leader Meeting, where 200 of the company’s top executives will come together for a two-day summit later this month. In recognition of his many talents and versatility, ROI Communication recently tapped Rory to serve as our own Internal Communications Manager – no small honor for a company made up entirely of communicators.

Known for near-maniacal attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and a contagious “can-do” attitude, Rory managed staff members at the well-known Bacco Ristorante in Boston’s historic North End. While there, he ran training programs, negotiated with vendors, and developed new products.

At Score! Educational Center in Wellesley, Mass., Rory provided structured, educational guidance for children, ages four to 14. At the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington, D.C., he authored articles charting the spread of democracy worldwide. He also upgraded, maintained and wrote for the Endowment’s website.

Rory graduated cum laude from Colgate University with a double major in history and political science and workshops his fiction at grub street, inc., Boston’s only independent writing center.
