I wrote the cover story, Ten Years of Music 2002-2012: A Williamsburg Oral History, for the July issue of The Williamsburg/Greenpoint News and Arts . Interviewing musicians, promoters, venue managers and influencers, I aimed to craft an overview of this period of time in North Brooklyn. It’s a continuing work in progress. This newspaper article is just the beginning, and I hope to meet with and interview countless more individuals. If you’re interested in participating in this project, please do write me.

I wrote a couple of stories about bicycling in NYC, including a profile of Josh Zisson and his Bike Safe Nation initiative. Pick up a copy of the newspaper at local bars and restaurants. Or visit the site online.
