I’ve written essays, print and web features, and reported pieces, mostly about artistic folks and social movements. Some of my stories break down trends in business and subculture; others explore how people are navigating life online.
Also: neighborhood guides, band profiles, film reviews, and at least one essay about floundering through a strip mall meditation retreat.
