A little about me
|
I was born, raised, and still live in a rent controlled apartment in the heart of New York City's East Village. I like to think of it as the way I've been able to afford to be a journalist living in Manhattan.
Over the years, I've written about everything from New York City crime, real estate, politics, and nightlife to technology, small business policy, and the Internet boom and bust. For the past five years, I've covered the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. Watching brilliant techies, visionaries, and investors determined to overthrow the old business order and change the world working alongside the scammers out to get rich, the powers that be struggling to keep up, and all the staggering egos offers an eerie echo of the '99-'01 Internet boom. Before crypto, I spent more than a decade covering sales, group travel, and employee and consumer engagement. This included meeting and incentive travel coverage that let me follow the urges that sent me to work college summers in Alaska, run from* the bulls in Pamplona, and, most recently, clamber up hills in Glacier National Park. It let me see the Great Wall disappear into the distance, watch the sun setting over the waters of Tahiti, and sit in an open-top truck 10 feet from a pride of clearly hungry lionesses in Kruger National Park while the ranger encouraged us to use flash photography. Then there was the time I fell up on a Zero-Gravity flight. * I chose my words carefully.
