Journalism
My work has appeared in newspapers and magazines around the world, including The Wall Street Journal, the Economist, the Washington Post, Inc., Fortune, the Times of London, the Guardian, the Irish Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the New Zealand Herald, Asiaweek, Portland Monthly, and Willamette Week. Due to the ephemeral nature of newspapering, I don't have electronic versions of my older pieces, so this smattering will have to serve for now. Please discount missing photos, garbled captions, awkward formatting, and so on.
