I’m the Corporate Communications Manager for The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones and the Michael Phelps of typing. All thoughts on my Tumblr, Twitter and elsewhere around the web are my own and do not represent those of my employer.

Prior to joining the Journal I worked as a news producer for The Associated Press. During my time in the AP newsroom, Deepwater Horizon was capped, 33 Chilean miners were rescued one by one, the Republicans took the House, Gabby Giffords was shot, Mubarak stepped down, and a magnitude 9.1 earthquake decimated the coast of northern Japan. I’m convinced that a newsroom is arguably the most exciting and immediate way to witness history short of actually being on the ground watching things unfold in real time.

I spend an inordinate time thinking about the intersection between design, technology and culture. I also spend way too much time thinking about startups, social media, Eames, Iceland and how the hell I can work my way back down to Inbox Zero.

My work has appeared over the years in Outside, Men’s Journal, The Christian Science Monitor, Iceland Review, The Smart Set, and a smattering of now-defunct magazines.

Let’s see: I slept in 79 hotels for Oyster.com, the grossest of which was the Don Juan Beach Resort in the Dominican Republic. 

I spent two years in Reykjavik, one in Hong Kong, and various longish stints in Spain, Switzerland, Kosovo, Arctic Norway and Bolivia. I’m a graduate of Colby College and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. I very happily now call Brooklyn home, where I blend in among the hoards of chucks and skinny jeans.
