My articles and photographs have appeared in The Hartford Courant, New York Post, Reason, and over a dozen other publications I can remember. I am a frequent contributor to Dig and Calliope, magazines about archaeology and history for middle-schoolers.
My entry on Prohibition appears in
The Encyclopedia of Libertarianism. My essay Tempest in a Coffeepot was reprinted in Cultural Anthropology and Globalization, a college anthropology textbook. Several of my pieces have been reprinted in the Britannica Online Encylopedia.Prior to becoming a freelance journalist, I was the Senior Producer and the Sci-Tech Producer for FOXNews.com. I produced a number of web packages at FOXNews including "Antarctica 2000," in which Fox correspondents journeyed to the southernmost continent to gather meteorites as members of a scientific expedition. I also reported from Egypt as part of Fox's 2000 television special, "Opening the Tombs of the Golden Mummies: Live!"
Before joining FOXNews in 1998, I worked freelance for several years editing, writing, and banging out code for Ernst & Young, Union Carbide Corporation, Jeffrey Norton Publishers, and others. I began my career in publishing as an assistant editor in the logic department of a puzzle-magazine press.
I have a Bachelor's in philosophy and religion from Ithaca College; I double minored in anthropology and writing. I have conducted post-graduate work in archaeology.
I've participated in several archaeological investigations, including cultural resource management projects and work at the
Henry Whitfield Museum.I like to run. Since 1999, I've competed in 50+ medium-distance races, most ranging in length from 5K to half marathon. I have never won, placed, or showed.
I like to eat. You can read me at
Crispy on the Outside, "an irreverent food blog for food outlaws."I live in New England with my wife and two free-range monkeys.
