Hi. I’m a staff writer at Yahoo Finance, where I cover sports business, tech, and other fun stuff. I have a weekly video series called Sportsbook.
Before Yahoo, I spent five years at Fortune, where I wrote magazine features on DraftKings, Adidas, Yelp, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Will.i.am, Louis Freeh, Leigh Steinberg, chef David Chang, and others. I also co-managed the 40 Under 40 franchise.
I’m the author of Zoom, a book about young entrepreneurs. I serve on the board of the Deadline Club. And I’m on TV occasionally, at Golf Channel, BBC, CBS This Morning and CBS New York.
I’ve also written for Sports Illustrated, The Guardian, Vice, Time, Salon, NPR.org, Entrepreneur, Deadspin, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, New York Daily News, The Daily Beast, LitHub, The Awl, The Hairpin, The Morning News, The Millions, The Classical, Flavorpill, PopMatters, The Rumpus, Berfrois &more.
I went to college at Middlebury, grad school at Columbia.
That’s everything, for now— bye.
