I’m an editor, writer and occasional student who has written more stories on politics, policy, infrastructure, the environment and transportation than my mother wants to read, and a slightly smaller number of book reviews and essays. I have worked as an editor at and contributed to the Huffington Post, the New York Observer, Planetizen and Community Impact Newspaper and written for Capital New York (now Politico), Popmatters, SOMA and The New York Times, among other publications. Though an East Coast native, I now live in Austin and enjoy its proximity to wide-open spaces.
