Claim your profileI'm an educator, journalist, author and recovering PowerPoint user. My writing has appeared in the New York Times, Smithsonian magazine, Slate, Washington Post, The Atlantic, Tablet Magazine, Yankee Magazine, Thrillist and many other publications. My most recent book, "The Good Vices: From Beer to Sex, The Surprising Truth About What's Actually Good for You," was published by Penguin Random House. I’m currently a contributor at Tech & Learning and Forbes.com. I am also a faculty mentor in Western Connecticut State University’s MFA in Creative and Professional writing program as well as an Associate Faculty Lead at Post University. I was previously senior writer at Connecticut Magazine and an adjunct professor at Mercy College, Quinnipiac University and Bridgeport University. Throughout my career, I have been obsessed with the root of knowledge — how we know what we know. This has led me down many rabbit holes ranging from investigating the true cause of the Hartford circus fire for Connecticut Magazine or debunking generations of hamburger history lies with new documentation for the Washington Post.
