a bit about myself…
With more than a decade’s worth of online journalism experience — as an editor, writer and blogger — I am currently editor of Barrons.com.
I worked previously at Yahoo! Finance, as news editor and assistant managing editor, and at Bloomberg News as a reporter. I also was managing editor of Individual Investor Online, where I later acted as an editorial consultant, and was a reporter for Institutional Investor.
I spoke about the Internet at the 2007 Forbes.com Online Brand Leadership Forum as well as at an American Business Media panel discussion titled “It’s All About Search: Partnering to Get the Most Exposure for Your Content.”
I have also worked as a freelancer, writing about current events, politics and radio for publications including New York Weekly and Hernando Today.
Since 2005, I’ve maintained a music blog at BigTakeover.com, the online complement to the Big Takeover magazine (now in its 30th year).
I also have written, co-written, and recorded hundreds of songs, primarily with The Keyboard Kids, and once played at CBGB.
In the nineties, I hosted a general interest radio talk show on WVOX-AM.
A native of Scarsdale, NY, I graduated from Boston University and have spent most of my career in Manhattan. Today, I live in Brooklyn, NY, with my wife, Myra, and our daughter Clara.
We also have a 22.2 pound cat named Herman whose staggering size unfailingly startles visitors. Our other furball, Meepers, weighs just 13 pounds. He flees when guests arrive.
