I’m a sports and culture reporter with a lengthy track record of writing stories that answer a simple question: “Why?” 

My stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Athletic, and more. I am a member of Flaming Hydra, an independent writer’s cooperative. 

You can find selected pieces of my work here.

In my career, I have been both an insider and an observer. I am relentless in my pursuit of revelatory information for my readers, with the goal of revealing the context around how and why trends and decisions are made. 

This philosophy is evident in my sports stories about developments in sports medicine, team ownership sales, and deep investigations into why an athlete makes the choices and performs as they do. I spent five years on the road with the New York Yankees, breaking news and revealing new developments in the most scrutinized franchise in American professional sports. 

A-list athletes and sports executives have described my approach as irritatingly thorough — and the resulting stories as accurate and complex. Readers have said my work humanizes powerful, guarded people and reveals the institutional decisions that shape their favorite sports. 

In my culture coverage, I have examined celebrity eating disorders, the place of politics in punk rock, and why everyone’s favorite form of skateboarding is dying out. I’m captivated by what moves people: literature, film, music, modern and contemporary art. 

My curiosity is insatiable, and my work reflects that.
