Jonathan Rick

I'm one of those lucky people whose jobs are extensions of their hobbies: I’m a ghostwriter and speaker. What does that mean? It means that I help people to shape and tell their story. Whether via a workshop or Wikipedia article, op-ed or newsletter, slide deck or speech, I identify and implement strategies to build thought leadership, create buzz, and drive public opinion. My writing has appeared in a plethora of publications, including the New York Times, C.N.N., Fast Company, and U.S.A. Today, and I’ve delivered talks to organizations such as Nascar, J.P.Morgan, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Department of Homeland Security. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Government from Hamilton College, from which I graduated with honors for my thesis on the Iraq war. Outside work, I enjoy swimming on the local Masters team, reading on my iPad, and living in the Clarendon suburb of Arlington, Virginia.
