Brooklyn, NYC
Creativity Unleashed

About

From the vast frontiers of the tiny (think nanoparticles, microbes and such) to the habits, habitats, and hurdles of the huge (as in big cats, whales and elephants) to the expansive issues of energy and climate, I've covered science, technology, the environment, the arts and social issues for over a decade.

My pieces range from the evolutionary journey of birds from dinosaurs, to a community-building partnership between police and clergy in Brooklyn, to a couple who quit their day jobs to create an arts program for troubled youth in East Boston.

Creativity and Expertise

The work showcased here aims to show a knack for distilling complicated ideas into easily digestible prose. As Mingus put it, "Making the simple complicated is common-place; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity."

Curiosity and Passion

As a journalist, writer, and video producer, I've crisscrossed the country to interview hundreds of people -- from CEOs, to lobstermen, to ski resort & brewery owners, to vintners & sustainability directors, to mathematicians and whale experts, to Ben and Jerry of ice cream fame.
