A bit about me:

I've been working in the journalism field since college and have been working in newspapers since 1988 (while still a student). After graduating, I was an Entertainment Editor for a group of weekly newspapers in Essex County, New Jersey and won five critical writing awards from the New Jersey Press Association.

As a freelancer, I've written several pieces for Playboy Online, Men's Health, New Jersey Monthly, Bikini, Chance and P.O.V. I've also written an Atlantic City buzz column for Casino Player magazine.

Currently, I write a monthly column for Strictly Slots, the gaming industry's leading publication.

In the news game, I'm currently an editor at The Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J., the 13th biggest daily paper in the country. As production editor for TICKET, the paper's weekend entertainment guide, I traffic all of the stories and coordinate the production of the entire 52-page section. I've also written an internet gossip column and news pieces of practically every kind.

Comic-wise, I've been busy creating an awesome monthly comic book called "LUCKY TOWN" (posted on artist JULIAN GRANT's page and linked at right under my favorites). His art is simply fantastic and he truly is a visionary.



As for the title - "Lucky Town" is hip, edgy new drama that follows that trials-and-tribulations of Rory McClain, a tattoo artist in Atlantic City who suffers from panic disorder. Between his combative stripper girlfriend, a disaffected best friend and a scheming boxer, Rory must teeter a thin tightrope before he falls off the edge of sanity.

I have also been involved with various animation projects with animator Stephen Lewis (nothing produced, however). Pitched at WB and The Cartoon Network.
