I'm a roving editor at Patch! I have abiding interest in human stories, and I've spent the last seven years working primarily in Missouri, where I've reported on draconian drug sentencing laws, poked around haunted churches and learned the ins and outs of hijacking an airplane. I now live in St. Louis with four degus (look them up, they’re very cute) and a lot of old notebooks. Want to send me story tips, corrections, or suggestions? Email me at danny.wicentowski@patch.com.
