Claim your profileMore than two decades of journalism experience. I now manage reporters covering California and the West for The New York Times, looking for stories that have national resonance while serving our large readership in the nation's most populous state. Previously, I launched POLITICO's California office in 2018 and built a 10-person team that covers politics and policy in the nation's most influential statehouse. We broke stories and reported policy details every day for Capitol and Washington insiders, and we reported on California politics for POLITICO's national homepage audience. I previously managed a newsroom in a metro region of 2 million people and was the lead editor on some of the biggest breaking and watchdog stories published in recent years at The Sacramento Bee. In my spare time, I run on the Sacramento Running Association Elite masters team.
