Thank you for your interest in my work. My father once told me that in order to be a great writer you have to be an even greater reporter. As the world has become awash in writers, it is the reporters who are the single most important asset any enterprise can claim, and it's in that expertise that I now offer my most valuable service. The market for my services has taken me to the most dynamic area of human interaction today: information flow. If you need research into aspects of information flow, either in your customer base or within an industry of your interest message me. My present clients include the most accomplished of all information flow experts, Laserfiche for which company I have researched and written hundreds of articles in dozens of publications. Past clients include the New York Times, Mother Earth News, Sail, Boston Globe, Field and Stream, Government Technology News, FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, City and County, Law and Order and numerous other publications for which I've written on various subjects as per editorial direction. I am also the publisher of News by Nature, a hobby of mine which receives about 300 unique monthly page views. It used to get a lot more but who has time for hobbies these days. https://wp.nbnpress.com/

Weekly duties included generating five daily stories, one weekly feature for the Sunday paper and one column. I was frequently assigned deadline assignments for the AM publication which involved reporting and writing stories within a two-hour time frame. Five minutes can be a lifetime when you know how to use them. In my work there I was honored, along with a team of reporters, with the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News. I also established the paper's first environment beat.

Mattituck, Ny

Beat reporter covering the Village of Greenport, NY, a contentious community of about 1,000. Of those, 800 subscribed to the paper I worked for. Every week my 6-8 stories were scrutinized by the entire village and when I got something wrong, I was hung out to dry. So I rarely did. I also produced three award winning multi-part series: Pollution in the Peconics, Small Town Domestic Violence, and Living Poor Outside the Hamptons.

Woodbridge, Nj

Covered the New Jersey communities of East Brunswick, Milltown, and South River for the News Tribune. If it happened in a zoning, school, planning or town board I wrote about it, often filing two stories in the same day. Learned how to make sense of complex government spending plans in time to make the evening deadline. Wrote more budget stories than the Washington press corp.

Newsday, Melville, Ny

Most of my time was spent investigating patronage practices at Nassau County, NY, Surrogates Court and the horribly corrupted legal mandate unique to New York courts call guardian ad litem, where estates were fleeced of millions of dollars before being turned over to heirs helpless to stop it. My assignments also included a background check of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
