Interview

What does it mean to be a journalist?

For me, it means opening new frontiers, whether that be someone's mind or opening up a new location or idea to a reader.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

By email

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

All writing and editing done on a 15 inch MacBook Pro, Retina. Current camera is a Nikon D7000, with 4 lenses. Photo editing is in Lightroom.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

Yep, but only for one year. This career came relatively late in life, after my first career in politics and second in law.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

Good question. I liked my research and work on the scam that is the New 7 Wonders of the World perhaps the most in the last year or so: http://www.goseewrite.com/2011/11/new-7-wonders-world-scam-behind-sham/

When's the best time to pitch you?

Anytime, by email.
