Professional Experience
A versatile, well-published and often-quoted journalist with a background in sports and business (beverages, grocery and CPGs, specifically), I have been involved with magazine publishing for 25 years in both consumer and B2B segments, including a 10-year run with VNU Business Media. I am actively seeking freelance writing, editing and consulting work, and would also consider a challenging, stimulating full-time post. Staff stints include Newsweek, Inside Sports, On Cable and Scholastic. Currently serving as Managing Editor for Sporting Goods Dealer (on contract) and involved in the launch of a new online sports service, Inside Connecticut Sports (www.insidectsports.com).
