Expert Training Solutions
Since 2007, I have been developing training solutions that have helped organizations meet the challenges caused by ever-evolving technologies, increasingly competitive marketplaces, constantly changing laws and regulations and a skilled, savvy workforce that has the pick of technical jobs. Projects have ranged from designing an award-winning eLearning course for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to crafting a talent management plan for Navy Mutual Aid Association.
I specialize in bringing content to life. I bring a mix of creative and technical approaches to project execution. Specifically, I specialize in creating engaging eLearning, learning requirements analysis, learning and development strategy and consulting, and technical writing.
See my Selected Projects for detailed descriptions of the value I have consistently brought to my clients.
Outside of work, I write poetry and read articles from Digital Trends, Popular Mechanics, and Green Car Reports. I also love spending time with friends and family.

What Have Others Said About Me?
Well, that's enough of me talking about myself; here's what other people say.
"I've had the opportunity and privilege to work with Elliot on a learning and development project that my agency recognized as one of the best courses developed in 2016. The finished product was both engaging and interactive which helped us deliver a superior product. A big part of our achievement had to do with Elliot's inputs and suggestions for improvement to the course that led to that success. Beyond his high level of competencies related to his technical capabilities, his kind and assertive demeanor was valued highly, both by myself and by other members of the team. His presence on the team allowed everyone on the team to better manage and understand the capabilities of the software package in which we were working and the timeline in which we were operating. As a result, Elliot delivered several draft and the final versions of the course to us - typically ahead of schedule and in a high-quality fashion. Long story short, I'd be more than happy to have Elliot on my team for any future learning and development projects." - Bill Roggenbrodt, Project Manager at NRC
"Elliot has been professional in all facets of the instructional design task from writing/documenting the storyboards to collaborating with the customer. He is articulate and concise with his language, making him a very clear communicator. He's very responsive to critiques and recommendations. He's personable and friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him and enjoy an opportunity to work with him in the future." - Anita Lynn, Senior Vice President at BRMi
"Elliot is the best technical writer." - LaShawn Jennings, Sr. Program Mgr., Lean-Agile Coach at Verizon
"Elliot is one of the most talented instructional designers I know. He is thorough, creative, and detailed-oriented. While I did not develop any courses with him, I did review his storyboards or web products and was always impressed with the quality. He also has a great eye for quality assurance, providing valuable and detailed reviews of written or multimedia assets." - Amalia Schmidt, Training Specialist at NTT DATA Services
