I have written and edited for wire services, newspapers, magazines, Web sites, blogs, marketing departments and an interactive television company. I wrote a humor column for Scripps Howard News Service that appeared in newspapers across North America, including the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Orange County Register and Chicago Sun-Times. In 2007 I relaunched that column on this site.

I have a degree in news-writing and editing from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. In my spare time I host The Second Column podcast and perform improvisational comedy. You can friend me on Facebook and Twitter. I currently reside in Los Angeles’s Affordable Sushi District.
