I am the Updates Editor for Food & Wine. Until its closure in 2024, I was the editor in chief of Roadmap, a new magazine about work funded by an early-stage startup. I have also served an editor for Brooklyn Magazine, Library Journal, Stripe's Increment, the Gates Foundation-funded How We Get to Next, and The Rumpus.
In addition to my work in magazines, I also provide editorial consulting and strategy for corporate clients. Some past and current clients include Conway+Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Newstand (now Daycast), Chegg, and Aboard.
From 2011-2022, I ran the email newsletter the Daily GIF.
The bulk of my magazine writing—which includes reporting, essays, criticism, and fiction—is about culture, place, food, and technology.
I've written for Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure (where I was a regular contributor), GQ, Esquire, Oxford American, Bookforum, The Believer, Brooklyn Magazine, Popular Science, Audubon Magazine, Hemispheres, Suitcase, Men's Health, Next City, Atlas Obscura, BuzzFeed, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Pacific Standard, Nylon, Library JournalExtra Crispy, The Toast, The Rumpus, Bitch Magazine, Increment, Daily Dot, The Oyster Review, and Fusion, among others.
Longreads named my Brooklyn Magazine profile of Saeed Jones to its Best of 2016: Arts & Culture Writing list. When it existed, I was a contributing writer to Amtrak’s onboard magazine, The National. I've also worked on a coffee table book about food and wine around the world for National Geographic.
I have an MFA in fiction. My short stories have appeared in PANK, Midnight Breakfast, and Barnstorm Journal. In 2024, I was awarded a writing residency at the Cill Rialaig Arts Centre to continue work on a novel.
