ABOUT ME

Storytelling & Journalism

I’ve covered Super Bowls and murders, business transformations and tennis Grand Slams. I have documented CTE among retired NFL players, illegal recruiting in high school sports and a football helmet testing scandal. I have been a sports writer, sports editor and currently cover business news as a writer and editor. 


I am a reporter and editor for Best's Review, a magazine focusing on insurance, financial services and asset management. Previously, I was an editor and reporter for the Bergen Record, the second largest daily newspaper in New Jersey. I have covered the NFL (Giants & Jets), MLB (Yankees and Mets), the concussion epidemic and other enterprise and investigative stories.
