I’m a veteran of more than twenty years in broadcast and online journalism.

Over that time, I’ve provided analysis, opinion, fact-checking, and copy editing for national and independent outlets including NBC News, MSNBC, HuffPost, Reverb Press, Democratic Underground, and others. My work has consistently focused on accuracy, context, and accountability—less interested in speed or spectacle than in getting it right.

In 2024, I published my memoir Nervous Exhaustion, the culmination of a decades-long effort to understand how early encounters with authority, faith, and institutional silence shaped a life. The book is less a chronicle of events than an examination of memory, power, and the long consequences of being asked to look away when something was clearly wrong.

I’m currently at work on my first work of fiction, a multi-decade examination of how American life—from the aftermath of World War II through the COVID pandemic—shaped a generation and continues to shape those who came after it. Through one family’s arc, the project explores how national events, economic choices, cultural myths, and collective blind spots echo across time.

This Substack is where those threads converge. I write about current events through the lens of history, lived experience, and moral responsibility, connecting today’s headlines to the patterns that produced them. I’m not interested in hot takes or performative outrage. I’m interested in how we got here, why we keep repeating ourselves, and what it costs—personally and nationally—when we mistake forgetting for progress.

If you’re looking for writing grounded in history, skeptical of power, and attentive to consequences, you’re in the right place.
