Professional Experience
I am a seasoned journalist, with over 25 years of reporting, writing and editing experience covering everything from sports and politics to business and technology. I have spent the last five years focused on food writing, first acquiring the technical expertise via a culinary degree and time in the kitchen trenches and then moving on to gain perspective on how movements like farm-to-table and sustainable agriculture and aquaculture can and cannot be expanded to accommodate all eaters.
