Jim Sollisch has written personal essays and stories for just about every major news outlet in the United States. His subjects include parenting, sports, cooking, faith, advertising, culture, gardening and occasionally politics although there's no subject he can't cover in 500 words or less. For years, he was a commentator on National Public Radio's Morning Edition. Sollisch is a copywriter and Creative Director at Marcus Thomas Advertising in Cleveland, Ohio, where he has been a willing participant in the masochistic ritual of being a Cleveland sports fan. As a copywriter, he's learned to never waste a word, and his work, which includes a Super Bowl spot, has won hundreds of awards. He is crazy about cooking and is the creator of the Chorizo Date Burger, which he ranks as his finest achievement.
