I’m a writer and poet whose explores self-trust, emotional resilience, and the way memory shapes us.

I had been through so many transitions in my business when I met James.
He became an essential part of my business and life.
He helped me experience more freedom and joy in my business, release a bestselling book, and launch the podcast I’d been dreaming about for years.

When I had an multifaceted problem and I needed an answer, I went to James Kerti. I relied on his knack for forming concise, well-reasoned recommendations that I could take action on.
It didn’t matter what he needed to do, whether it was strategic planning, research, film or market analysis, or something else. He always impressed me with his creativity, resourcefulness, and ability to deliver on a tight deadline.
In a highly competitive industry where information is currency, I knew I could count on his work and his discretion. James made a big difference.

Research is the most fundamental aspect of my job as an author of narrative nonfiction books – without excellent research, there is no story, no adventure, no truth.
To that end, I’ve been exceedingly lucky to work with James Kerti, who has performed research for me in ways I could not have imagined. Time after time, James has discovered hidden gems, uncovered unlikely tunnels and passageways, leveraged his own creativity and curiosity to expand stories and give them added dimensions.
His eagerness to work hard and go beyond the call of duty – continuously – makes him invaluable. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
