About

In a quarter century working in US and UK media, I have sparked debate, built relationships and delivered quality journalism. I deliver copy that's witty, sharp and original. I understand social media - it's not enough to edit or write something good, I want to make sure people see it.In terms of writing, if it's out there I've probably covered it. As an opinion writer I have written on education, government and business as well as art and theater. I have been sent to Iraq to see British military engineers at work, and I have travelled with the Sherlock Holmes Society of London - all in Victorian costume - as they retraced their hero's path across Switzerland. I suspect I may be the only journalist who can say he's written about sewage treatment in Kansas City, cricket matches in Nottingham and native plants in Fort Lauderdale.I am an experienced writer and editor of stylish, memorable copy who has honed his skills on two continents.
