Editor-In-Chief, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay

Biography

Currently: Editor-In-Chief, Creative Loafing Tampa. Former: Tampa Bay Times/TBT*, Suburban Apologist, Gasparilla Music Festival College bylines and an obsession with music led to a highly educational run with 24-hour music website [Consequence Of Sound] (http://consequenceofsound.net) before a door opened in the waning months of storied Tampa, Florida music magazine REAX. Publisher Joel Cook eventually asked me to helm a new project, Suburban Apologist aka [SubAp!] (http://suburbanapologist.com), where I'm joined by an immensely talented cast of photographers and writers whose tremendous gifts are eclipsed only by their love for the Tampa Bay area. Worked on SubAp! week in and week out while being fortunate enough to be a correspondent for the [Tampa Bay Times] (http://tampabay.com) and [Creative Loafing] (http://cltampa.com), where I am now a full-time employee.
