Hi and Welcome to my corner of the web! Please let me introduce myself… I’m Bill, a Pittsburgh-based writer, who used to work as a marketing consultant, website developer, communications project manager, and even a small-business owner/operator.

I’m also a proud father, sports fanatic, amateur photographer, and unabashed promoter of  Pittsburgh (and western Pennsylvania in general).

I’ve been clicking away on a keyboard on and off for the past 40 years, but I’ve been fluent in Pittsburgheze for my entire life. If you’re not sure what Pittsburgheze is, you can find out more here and here. Needless to say, it is more than a dialect, it’s a way of life. When you hear Pittsburgheze, it signifies that the person speaking hails from a very unique place in this world.

While this site is named “Pittsburgheze.com,” it’s really just a fun place to house my portfolio, some photography, and a few other pet projects. (My business lived on the internet for about 15 years as “wordshark.com,” until I sold that domain to a multi-national language therapy company based in Great Britain.) Oh, btw, I currently have another domain for sale, find details here!

So, whether you’re researching linguistic techniques in pursuit of rhetorical knowledge, or just someone looking for a chipped ham sammich from Jynt Igle, I thank yinz for stopping by!
