Bio
Galen Munroe
Ted is a dedicated professional communicator who gives 110 percent to every task he undertakes. As my colleague for nine years at the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Ted did an outstanding job supporting the union’s political initiatives, producing the union podcast, supporting media relations initiatives, drafting materials for leadership, and penning the monthly column for then General President Jim Hoffa. I recommend Ted, without any reservations, to any organization looking for a strong communicator that excels in every facet of the job.
Jim Saah
I worked with Ted for over 9 years illustrating his stories. As all writers and photographers know, not every story is the most exciting thing you ever wrote about or photographed. But Ted made every story interesting, always finding the little gem in it to make it relatable and engrossing. A great talent for any writer. Plus he’s friendly and fun to work with. A great hire for anyone who needs a fantastic writer.
