<b>Bio</b>
I was born in the Central West End and by age eight lived in the Washington, D.C. area. I graduated from Syracuse University in upstate NY in three years, in newspaper journalism and British literature. Studied a year in London. Joined masters programs in newspaper journalism at University of Arizona in Tucson, and New York University.
I've worked in the publishing industry in magazine, books and newspaper in New York City, Silicon Valley, Madrid Spain, Tucson, and now the St. Louis area.
I won numerous awards reporting during the dot-com boom and bust on the San Francisco Peninsula.
I worked as part of a startup free daily newspaper that overran the competition on the San Francisco Peninsula with better reporting, and which was later bought by the San Jose Mercury News for millions of dollars.
I transferred to Chesterfield Patch from a South County Patch on Aug. 3, 2011.
