Welcome!

I'm a freelance writer based in New York City.

My work has appeared in outlets ranging from The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune to The Economist and Wired.com.

I've interviewed jazz icon Herbie Hancock and actor-singer Harry Connick Jr.; pontificated as a guest on NPR's national news call-in show, Talk of the Nation; interrogated nanotechnologists, toy designers and bagel bakers; and narrowly missed having my picture taken with Mayor Michael Bloomberg at Gracie Mansion.

I've also written a wide range of marketing and informational materials for companies like Kaplan and Universal Music Group, nonprofit organizations such as the College Board and the American Association of Advertising Agencies, and colleges and universities like Columbia, Penn and Juilliard.

In a former life, I was a college professor. No, seriously. I've also done time as a software developer, drummed for animal sacrifice in Ghana and played jazz piano for nude modeling sessions at the Society of Illustrators here in New York. I've performed standup comedy at the Bowery Poetry Club, embarassed myself doing improvisational theater with the Upright Citizens Brigade, and even managed to turn a drunken binge in Spain's Sherry Triangle into a feature article for Bartender Magazine.

So far, so good.
