Journalism

In addition to copywriting, blogging, ghostwriting, and marketing services for businesses, I’m also passionate about freelance journalism for the region in which I live: NY’s Hudson Valley. I write about a little bit of everything, but specialize in dining, wine, travel, hospitality, counterculture, music, art, and more.

Here’s an at-a-glance look at some recently published work…
