About This Guy

Look, friend, Everett Guerny is a Miami copywriter who happens to know a thing or two about maintaining Linux servers — isn't that unusual? That means he's about as good at grep as he is at, uh, crushing copy for startups and big brands alike.

In his idle time, Everett is an experienced eater of food, taker of photos, and has been known to occasionally write a blog post about whatever interests him. That usually turns out to be marketing stuff, tech stuff and whatever else interests him.

“That's great! Can I contact you?”
