About

As a features reporter with the New York Post, it's a thrill to seek out the thoughts of New Yorkers on timely – and often fun – topics like: $5 becoming the “benchmark” for a slice of NYC pizza, hostility toward the thumbs up emoji, and whether or not “guilt tipping” on pay tablets has gone too far. Unearthing wildly true stories — like Marlon Brando repeatedly mooning the cast & crew on “The Godfather” set or how a 20-something year old petty thief stole and hid England’s most famous, protected painting for years — is another area on which I’m proud to report. I deeply covered the emerging field of artificial intelligence as well.I also covered the 2022 Little League World Series, reporting the boys from Massapequa Coast as they embarked on their first ever Williamsport journey. I’m a proud Long Islander and began writing for The Bronx Times in 2018 after attending Hofstra University the year prior. While up in the boogie down borough, I also hosted “The BX Express” TV show before stepping up to the plate as a New York Yankees beat reporter for amNewYork Metro during the 2020 and early 2021 seasons. When I’m off the beat and relaxing, it’s usually with either pizza or a cheesesteak in hand while watching “The Sopranos.”
