I’m a fiction and nonfiction writer. My journalism has covered topics such as social entrepreneurship, Millennial culture, urban revitalization, local economy movements, renewable energy, sustainable design, Central Brooklyn politics and culture, Africa, international development, Occupy Wall Street, and more. Currently I’m working on a dystopian novel about four philosophers. Below is a smattering of my stuff.
