I cover the citywide beat for Patch NYC after reporting on my beloved home borough of Brooklyn.
Before Patch, I kicked around newspapers and other outlets in Indiana, Michigan and New York City. Along the way I've sat through innumerable trials and public meetings, picked up a national investigative reporting award, reported on televangelists flying private jets, among many other mundane, noteworthy or strange reporting experiences.
In my free time, I'm a big movie buff, an aspiring home cook and am forever seeking good natural areas.
