After nearly ten years of writing 90-second TV news stories, I finally followed the advice of friends and family, wiped off my television make-up, and determined I had a few more words worth writing. Since then I have had the good fortune of catching a few editors' eyes. Below you'll find some of the longform work I did while still working in television, as well as some of the work that has appeared in the publications that have seen fit to publish my work. If you're interested in reading the full articles, feel free to contact me for a copy.
