Executive Editor, Features & Special Projects
My Experience
I'm the Executive Editor, Features & Special Projects at PCMag.com. I oversee both traditional features and the wide variety of editorial packages we run, including the Readers' Choice/Business Choice awards and holiday gift guides.
I am an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia Journalism School. Prior to PCMag, I was on staff at BuzzFeed News, Input, BreakerMag, and Blender.
In addition, I have written for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Wired, WSJ. Magazine, and Rolling Stone, and am the author of Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge, a Time magazine book of the year. Check out my personal website for examples of my work.
My Areas of Expertise
I'm primarily interested in the ways tech intersects with culture. I love nothing more than exploring how people are driving technology and how technology is driving people.
The Technology I Use
I've been into tech since our household got a TRS-80 Model I (and later, an Amiga) way back when. Today, I'm a PC and Android guy. I'm a recovering Twitter addict (find me on Bluesky now!) and am almost always listening to music on Spotify.
