Now

I'm a San Francisco-based journalist and editor. Partial to Vladimir Nabokov, who said that "curiosity is insubordination in its purest form," I've focused most recently on investigative stories related to the environment and politics.

With wide-ranging interests and a sense of wonder at the workings of both humans and nature, my stories run the gamut. I've freelanced travel stories for the New York Times, written one of the first stories on aging to be published in an American fashion magazine, Mirabella, and conducted one of the last interviews with Nobel climate scientist Stephen Schneider before his untimely death. I've also done the odd piece for "This American Life." My work has also appeared in The New Republic, Discover, California Lawyer, Mother Jones, NPQ, and Sierra. Most recently I wrote the cover story for High Country News Magazine on the corruption charges plaguing the West's largest Indian tribe.
