Work
Currently I’m a reporter for the New Jersey Local News Service, an operation owned by Advance Publications. We provide stories, pictures and video to the Newark Star Ledger and NJ.com.
Before that, I was an intern at Inc., writing stories, twittering and creating video for Inc.com.
If you follow this link to my Google Reader page, you can see what I’ve worked on, and what I’m up to now.
NJ.com has the unfortunate habit of taking down stories (or so I’m told). Because of this, you can find a selection of my favorite work from the Star Ledger for posterity on this page, below this post. Old work from Inc. has been bumped down the Google Reader page, but is still worth checking out if you’re interested in small business-oriented stories and videos.

Across the country Roman Catholic parishes are making do with less. In Rahway, budget cuts and less autonomy for parishes are deeply affecting a traditional faith community.
Parishioners at St. Mark’s Roman Catholic Church in Rahway met with a bishop on Tuesday night and complained about financial and spiritual problems arising from sharing a pastoral administrator with St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, around the corner, less than a quarter-mile away.
