I always say I became a journalist because it was the only way to get a little piece of every career I've ever wanted to have. It's a long list.
I started my career writing for newspapers as a community reporter and later transitioned into business and trade publishing. There, I found a niche covering transportation and related industries as part of the editorial staff of various magazines and news outlets. My focused coverage has included commercial trucking, freight railroading, transit, aviation and the automotive aftermarket. Now, I cover wholesale distribution as senior editor of Modern Distribution Management (MDM). In this role, I leverage my years of experience covering the transportation industries I was embedded in to analyze and report on the greater business environment, U.S. economy and supply chain. At MDM, I conduct enterprise reporting focused on the wholesale distribution industry, specifically directed to our premium readership of distribution executives.
Journalism nerd, soccer player, non-fiction reader, creative writer, a person who doesn’t stand in the aisle when the plane lands, reader of all the museum plaques, and iced tea connoisseur.
I come from a family of adventurers and "fixers" (a pilot and diesel mechanic, an immigrant and electrician, and a scuba diver and world traveler). A little bit of everything rubbed off on me.
