Carl Stoffers, Patch Staff

I was born and raised in New Jersey and, with the exception of a few years in Arizona, have lived here my entire life. I graduated from Kean University, where I have taught communication and journalism since 2017, and Columbia Journalism School. Before Patch, I worked for The New York Times Upfront, The New York Daily News, and The Marshall Project. My work has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, and a bunch of other places. You can reach me at carl.stoffers@patch.com or (908) 800-2281.
