Journalist. Essayist. Author. Blogger. I am an award-winning writer, a contributor to Newsday and The New York Times, including the Modern Love column and Opinionator. My articles and essays have been featured in many publications covering such diverse issues as roadside memorials to life after New York and the search for worthy pizza. My material often comes from the stuff of everyday life, such as getting caught re-gifting after Christmas.
My memoir, Bottles in the Basement: Surviving an Alcoholic, is available on Amazon.
