About

I am the managing editor of The Badger Project, a nonpartisan journalism nonprofit I launched to investigate Wisconsin state government.After graduating college in 2005, I did a 3-year English-teaching stint in Prague in the Czech Republic. During my time there I saw and experienced as much of the world as I could, from Glasgow to Moscow and Istanbul to Addis Ababa.Upon returning to the U.S., I freelanced for the Chicago Tribune for more than two years. My articles have appeared in the LA Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, the Morning Call (Allentown, PA), the Wisconsin State Journal, Isthmus (a weekly alternative newspaper in Madison, WI), Coreweekly (a now defunct arts and entertainment magazine in Madison), the Prague Post (the English-language newspaper in Prague), and Krásná (a women’s magazine in Prague).I covered the 2013 presidential inauguration in D.C. and have interviewed PA Gov. Tom Corbett, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), U.S. Reps. Gwen Moore (D–WI), Matt Cartwright (D-PA) and Lou Barletta (R-PA), Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan, Madison Police Chief Noble Wray, former Daily Show Executive Producer Ben Karlin, "Miracle on Ice" leading scorer Mark Johnson and Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell.Specialties: storytelling, creative writing, enterprise, investigation, education, county courts/government, cops
