“A prolific entertainment journalist who utilizes his computer science degree to distill complex subjects down for any audience. Born and raised in the Bronx, he someone ended up in Jersey with his family and an army of chihuahuas.”
Over my career I’ve written numerous physical game guidebooks, scripts for social media videos that have garnered millions of views, broken an exclusive investigative feature story for Polygon, and produced social media campaigns for National Geographic Wild and Skybound Entertainment. As a technical writer for a primary research firm I wrote white papers for financial clients on subjects as varied as AI technology, semiconductors, e-commerce, and retail media. I’ve also worked extensively as an editor, once helping kickstart a start-up gaming site by hiring and managing a wonderful staff of freelance and full-time writers, increasing traffic 2,500% (not a typo) in under a year.
