  • Jul 2019 - Sep 2019

  I write our masthead editorials, edit most of our news and feature stories, curate and edit op-eds and letters to the editor, both for print and web. I am strongest on politics and government, but I am also an experienced editor of transportation, retail, finance, real estate, technology, economy and health care pieces. I moderate Crain's breakfast forums, which feature 40-minute Q & A sessions with top New York newsmakers: U.S. senators, state Senate majority leaders, Assembly speakers, City Council speakers, state attorneys general, U.S. attorneys, Port Authority and MTA chief executives, deputy mayors and commissioners. I frequently appear on local television, commenting on political and business news. Show less
