  I'm a Polk and two-time Loeb Award-winning reporter and editor with a passion to publish impactful stories with magnetic ledes, nut grafs that elicit “aha” moments, graphics that hammer home the thesis with at-a-glance simplicity, appropriate drama to keep readers scrolling, and kickers that are impossible to forget. I say yes whenever I can and maintain a strict no-whining policy. Early in my career, I wrote a sports column and reviewed music and movies. After 9/11, I felt a responsibility to tackle more serious issues. I switched to stories on subjects such as a nuclear power plant that was vulnerable to terrorism, neo-Nazi heavy metal bands, and the Passaic River, kayaking its length from Morris County to Newark Bay to describe its degradation and its potential. I joined Bloomberg's new real estate team just as the housing bubble was bursting. I broke stories on liar loans and synthetic collateralized debt obligations (don't ask!). I loved to collaborate, and a multi-part series on short-selling American homes ("Wall Street's Faustian Bargain") won our first Loeb Award. We sued the Federal Reserve for details of its secretive lending to banks during the financial crisis, taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. We won, and now I know a lot more about the Freedom of Information Act, the Fed, and the big banks than I ever thought I would when I was a movie critic. With the help of my colleagues, I learned so much that colleges, radio stations, and community organizations would have me speak to them on those subjects. The legal struggle became Chapter Two of my book, "The Seven Sins of Wall Street." Bloomberg promoted me to editor, where I took on the biggest story of my career -- the amount of wood (cellulose) in grated parmesan cheese. Forget the Fed and how its lending rewrote the history of the Global Financial Crisis. Everybody was crazy to know more about cheese. At Forbes, I was hired to lead the newsroom into dot-com from its primary focus on producing a print magazine. We boosted staff output and laid the groundwork for a paywall while I learned valuable lessons about the acceptable pace of change in an organization. I've been committed to passing along any knowledge (or wisdom) about journalism to the next generation. I've mentored dozens of journalists and at Forbes I created and conducted webinars on being better reporters. Now I'm ready for the next challenge. I'm a versatile journalist -- print or dot-com, reporter or editor, serious news or cultural fare (or a combination) -- and I'm set to contribute. Freelance
