Biography

I'm a versatile writer, reporter and editor. I\'m known for breaking news, writing travel stories, business profiles and in-depth features, but throw any subject at me and I'll make it accurate, interesting and relevant. I've written for TIME magazine/Time.com, ADAR,Reuters, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Travel + Leisure, The Atlantic, U.S. News & World Report and 30+ outlets. I covered the trial of Rod Blagojevich, eaten crickets in Cambodia, gone dog-sledding in Alaska and interviewed the likes of Maya Angelou and Justin Bieber. I've also managed a stable of in-house writers and freelancers, served as the managing editor of two national monthly B2B magazines during a redesign, and served as president of the largest nonprofit journalism board in Chicago. I\'m a strong researcher and interviewer who can get anyone to talk about anything. After starting my career as a sports reporter at the Dallas Morning News and St. Petersburg Times, I still enjoy the competitive nature of any industry.
