Introduction	My background includes nearly 30 years in the media business, starting with covering sports during high school. I worked for United Press International as a copyboy, a reporter, editor, sales executive and regional manager. I spent 2-1/2 years in the circulation department at the Chicago Sun-Times and started a newspaper aimed at trade show and convention delegates in Chicago while earning my MBA at Northwestern University. I spent 13 years at Tribune Media Services, syndicating comics, columns, puzzles and wire services. I wrote a column about the newspaper industry for a newspaper trade magazine, News & Tech. I have been a freelance reporter for a Massachusetts parenting magazine, baystateparent, and won four journalism awards, three from the New England Newspaper & Press Association and another from the Parenting Media Association. I co-authored a book with a Bryn Mawr College anthropology professor, Phil Kilbride, on plural marriage. I've worked as a reporter in Connecticut. As for my politics, I'm neither conservative enough for the Democrats nor liberal enough for the Republicans. All content on this blog is owned by me and not allowed to be copied.
