As an author and features writer based in the Bay Area, I've written for many publications, including Rolling Stone, Slate, Bleacher Report, BuzzFeed, Atlas Obscura, Baseball Prospectus, and more. I’ve also edited at Wired, Fox Sports, The Atlantic, and Uproxx.

I was also a frequent guest on NPR’s “Only a Game" and have been recognized in three editions of the Best American Sports Writing anthology (an official selection in 2013; cited as Notable in 2014 and 2015). I started out in publishing as a Wired magazine fact-checker for seven years.

My book on the historic, improbable rise of the Golden State Warriors was published in 2017 by Atria Books/Simon & Schuster. I’m biased, but I definitely think you should buy a copy or two.
